Honduras Mission

The Mission started in 2014 with the goal of helping the neediest in two remote mountain villages in North East Honduras. Our vision was to help them by bringing medical and dental services and most importantly the Word of God. We have seen great progress in all of these areas and we have been moved by the growth of their faith and spirit through the reestablishment of the catechetical and sacramental aspects of their Catholic faith. We are also expanding into other communities.

 

Our missionaries work in outdoor clinics, schools and churches providing medical and dental care for hundreds of villagers in need of attention. Services include: check-ups, consultations, dental extractions and restorations and the distribution of medicines and vitamins. The mission includes Daily Mass, prayer, the sacraments and faith sharing by home visits and catechesis.

Walking with Moms in Need

Pregnant and parenting moms in need are in our local communities and in many instances turn to other places for help when they find themselves in a challenging situation.  We recognize that moms in need are best assisted at the local level, and parishes like St. Anthony are uniquely positioned to encourage a collaboration of resources and to increase awareness of help available to mothers and families in need.

 

If you would like more information on WWMIN and how to get involved, please contact our Walking with Moms Coordinator, Megan Rekart.
