Partners in the Dominican Republic

We don’t serve alone.

At Saint Peter’s, our outreach grows through relationships with organizations, communities, and people who are already doing meaningful work.

These partners help us show up with humility, consistency, and care. Together, we participate in God’s work of healing, dignity, and hope.

We are rooted in relationship

We don’t begin from scratch.

We listen, learn, and join alongside trusted partners—supporting their work through shared services, financial giving, and long-term connections.

Each partnership reflects a piece of what love looks like in action.

Why partnerships matter

We believe lasting change happens through relationships.

These partnerships invite us to:

  • listen before acting

  • build trust over time

  • be changed as we serve

This is not just about what we do.
It’s about who we become together.
