The DECEMBER TRIP to El Salvador was a great success. From December 7-11, 2001, six members of SI parish (Fr. Gagan, Joan Gallagher, Cindy Yoakum, Elena Amaya, Chris Weasler, Mark Bradshaw and Matthew Bradshaw) visited our friends in San Antonio Parish, Soyapango. The group was accompanied by Jose Artiga, Tilo Artiga and Jeremy Rhoades from the Romero Foundation. During this time the group participated in an event to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the massacre at El Mozote, attended a sister parish covenant signing celebration at the parish and visited the tomb of Romero and the University of Central America. On December 11, Mark, Matthew, Chris and Jeremy travelled to the rural parish of El Carmen and spent the rest of the week staying with the Ramirez family, learning more about life in rural El Salvador and helping with the housing reconstruction project. PHOTOS and a TRIP REPORT will be posted here very shortly. Please check back in a couple of days.
