Through Catholic Relief
Services (CRS) Global Solidarity Partnership our parish will be traveling
to the diocese of
Santa Rosa
in
Guatemala.This unit of CRS strives to
promote the development of direct and mutually enriching relationships
between the people CRS serves in the
US
and overseas that lead to the immediate and long-term transformation of
people and the world in which they live.CRS can demonstrate that these relationships create a strong base
of solidarity from which personal dispositions can be changed and tangible
actions can take place for the common good.Individuals are transformed by the spiritual awakening that occurs
in engaging directly with people from a distant place; groups can engage
in concrete activities such as advocacy and support of projects that will
improve living conditions for their partners. We want these benefits to
reach as many of our parishioners as possible and have formed a Guatemala
Partnership Committee to assist in bringing this project to the minds and
hearts of all our parishioners.
