A moment of encouragement

Solidarity Trip to Honduras – D&P with CCCM

We just returned from two days in the diocese of Choluteca which included a visit to the community of Zacate Grande on the Pacific Coast and a visit to El Arca (L´arche community). It was hard to say “adios” to our new companeros and companeras at Caritas Choluteca.  

Before we did though, we all gathered in prayer by the sea and the mangroves to thank God for the blessing of meeting each other and being called to this community of justice, and to strengthen our faith and commitment to continue the work here in Honduras and in Canada.  Our two padres were able to give a special blessing to the Caritas team (at their request).

 A powerful moment of solidarity and encouragement.

Tomorrow, we head to the Canadian Embassy to hear their take on development in Honduras and to raise our concerns for the country and Canada´s involvement based on our visits of the past week.  Then we will have a chance to meet with catholic youth and campus ministry folks here.  Buenas Noches de Tegus!
