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.

Return from Chichi

Our latest team to travel to the school in Chichi has returned home safely.  While visiting the school, our team worked hard assisting in the construction of the new classroom building.  While there, they dug trenches and holes for the foundations, and learned how to wire together the steel reinforcing bars (re-bar) that will become the major support structures for the new building.  But before you begin to think that our team did all work with no play, we can assure you that there was still time to visit with the girls, and we have the pictures to prove it.  We hope to have some photos uploaded to this site in the very near future, and another video clip is in the works.

 

Thanks be to God, and to all of you who have helped support this mission with your time, your talent, your treasure, and especially, your prayers.

 

May God Bless you with abundant Graces,

May the Peace of Jesus Christ be your constant comfort,

And may the Fire of the Holy Spirit always blaze within your heart.

 

Yours in Gratitude,  The Children of God.

Mission Trip 2009

A small group of parishioners left for Chichi this past Saturday morning (August 1, 2009).  While in Chichi, they will be assisting in constructing the new classroom building.  Please pray for our missionaries that they will have a safe journey to and from Chichi.

 

In other news, a web link has been placed on the photos page.  This web link will take the viewer to a video on YouTube ®.  The video is a six (6) minute review of our medical mission to Chichi last year.  We hope to post more videos in the near future which will give the viewer a feel for Guatemala and life at the Internado.

 

Yours in Christ,

 

The Children of God.
