Our Global Community
Nuestra Señora del Carmel, El Sitio, GuatemalaEight years ago we started a mission council with our former Pastor Rev. Jack McKone. With his leadership we formed a relationship with the mission “Elias Profeta” run by in Patzún, Guatemala. Elias Profeta’s mission oversees 40 villages around Patzún. It takes care of the basic needs, health, education, and of the people in those communities.
Sacred Heart contributes to the Nuestra Señora Carmen School in El Sitio, a Catholic school with an enroll of approximately 250. Of these 250 students, Sacred Heart parishioners sponsor 105 children at an annual cost per child is $360.00. This covers a student's tuition, school supplies, and a daily snack for the school year.
Children at Sacred Heart make a huge contribution to helping their brothers and sisters in Christ by contributing to the Children's Collection at all masses.
