MISSIONARY APPEAL NEXT WEEKEND | This year’s assigned missionary appeal will be held in our parish August 5-6 at all Masses. A speaker from COAR (Community Oscar Arnulfo Romero) of Zaragoza, El Salvador will be telling us about their mission, founded in 1980, during El Salvador’s brutal civil war. COAR is now known as the “Children’s Village” with 800 day students, 100 in foster care, a medical and dental clinic, pharmacy and trade shops. It is administered directly by the Archbishop of San Salvador. However, COAR’s students are impoverished as is much of the country. To protect the more vulnerable requires food, shelter and housemothers. To educate the children requires updated computers, classrooms and good teachers. COAR’s motto is Women and Men for God and Culture, with a curriculum that educates the entire person. One of the first orphans rescued by COAR went on to serve as mayor of Zaragoza from 1998-2002. Your generosity in the second collection next weekend will allow COAR to continue responding to the needs of the most impoverished and to help them build a better future for El Salvador.
