Deacon Speakers Program

We have recently mailed Deacon Directors seeking their interest in our program on behalf of both working deacons and deacons in training.
The invitation document makes two very important points:
1. Our Pilgrimage is offered as an experience of the Gospel – it will be life changing. The participant will better understand the anawim of the Old Testament as well as the Lamb of God of the New Testament.
2. The pilgrim will become a ‘living bridge’ to educate First World Christians about the harsh realities of life for Third World Christians.
It is our fervent prayer that, especially at this time when natural disaster has been unleashed upon some of the countries that we serve, that interest in our program will be heightened.

Service Clubs

Our deacons can be of assistance to us in taking our message to service clubs in their area.
We seek partnership with service clubs to establish sustaining development projects such as fishing villages, tilapia farming, fruit orchards, water wells etc. in countries such as Haiti, Jamaica, Nicaragua, and Guatemala where need is dire and acute. Our approach to clubs should also include organizations such as the Knights of Columbus and the Council of Catholic Women, which are even closer to ‘home’.

Other Community Organizations

Youth clubs and other church/school-based organizations have proven to be helpfully effective in sponsoring housing, feeding programs, educational needs/supplies, employing such fundraising programs like ‘Operation Starfish’ during Lent and the 40 days preceding Thanksgiving.

How can you help us?
