Ordinary Time :: The Preaching of the Kingdom of God
Since 2003 our parish has maintained a relationship with two sister parishes in El Salvador. We have prayed and worked with the people of Esquipulas and Tacuba and visited them five times over the last six years. On June 26 a group of 28 young people and adults will be spending a week with these communities. Our goal is to learn about the church and its mission in this very poor country, to build bridges of friendship, and to understand our own lives and mission in the light of Catholic Social teaching.
We invite you to follow our journey on the web at www.ollchurch.org/elsalvador or just click here to learn more. Please keep us all in your prayers.
