Greetings and Love from Chichicastenango

This web site is dedicated to sharing with you our ministry of helping to feed, clothe, shelter, and educate impoverished and orphaned children in the Central American country of Guatemala.

Our efforts are in the spirit of Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi, Italy.

The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

 

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love,

Where there is injury, pardon,

Where there is doubt, faith,

Where there is despair, hope,

Where there is darkness, light,

And where there is sadness, Joy.

 

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled, as to console,

To be understood, as to understand,

To be loved, as to love.

 

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

A New Year, A New Project

It is hard to believe that we are well into a new year.  We pray that all of you have been Blessed throughout your Christmas Season.  We would like to take a moment to make you aware of a new project that we are preparing for the School in Chichi.  As you may recall, last August, we held our first medical mission trip to the Internado.  It was a resounding success!  In fact, it was such a success that before we left, we had already begun forming plans for another trip this year.

 

Our main goal for this year is to raise the funds necessary to build two additional classrooms at the Internado.  These classrooms are desperately needed by the teachers, but they will be designed so that they can be easily converted to be used by medical teams that visit the school.  This means that they will have adequate power, water and other amenities used by medical professionals which are not currently available at the school facilities.  Our next planned medical trip is for this coming August and we hope to have the classrooms completed by then.

 

If you would like to help with a donation of time, material or monetary value, please refer to our contact page to make arrangements.

 

As always, you all will be remembered in our prayers.


May the Peace and Love of Christ be with you always.
