The Sister Parish Committee sends delegations to Teustepe almost every year and receives delegations from Teustepe about every third year. The relationship has existed since the mid-1980s. The relationship is primarily one of accompaniment (described as hermanamiento, cultural exchange, praying for each other, and responding to emergency needs. Since the 1990s, we work with Association of Kairos Foundation and School.

The committee sells fair trade coffee and receives two plate collections to finance their trips to Nicaragua. Sister Parish meets on the third Tuesday of each month. 

The parish celebrates the feast of Saint Rita in solidarity with our Sister Parish, La Iglesia de Santa Rita, Teustepe, Nicaragua. The feast occurs on 22 of May.
