the Solidarity Bridge at El Buen Pastor

Thanks to parishioners and friends of the El Salvador Ministry, a bridge in the community of El Buen Pastor has been built. The community was impacted with the flooding of the bridge for a number of years (climate change!) that is the only passageway in and out of the community. The bridge was inaugurated on May 18, 2024.
