Nicaragua Committee

The Nicaragua Committee supports Pathway to Progress, the work in Nicaragua of Ed and Barb dunsworth, former parishioners, in collaboration with Hand in Hand Ministries. Since 2007, three groups of parishioners have travelled to Nicaragua on a STACM Immersion Trip to encounter the people and the culture, as well as to roll up their sleeves and help make a difference. Pathway to Progress, runs a variety of initiatives, such as refurbishing school buildings, constructing homes and working and playing with the students, to better the lives of some of the people in our hemisphere. Future trips are planned and donations are always welcome. Pathway to Progress Nicaragua is dedicated to preparing children living in poverty for success in life by sending them to high-level private schools in the city of Managua. They believe that when given access from an early age to the same resources and opportunities as their more affluent peers, they can and will achieve at the highest levels and have a good chance at beating the generational poverty they’ve been born into. They work with the children, their families and teachers to ensure they stay on track and get the support they need to succeed academically, emotionally and socially through grade school and, hopefully one day, into university.

Prolife Ministry

The Prolife Ministry strives to uphold the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. We seek to accomplish this goal by promoting awareness of life issues within the parish as well as through prayer and charitable endeavors (such as supporting women in crisis pregnancy). Meetings will be scheduled periodically, in accordance with the schedules of ministry members.

Pastoral Care Group

The Pastoral Care Group came about as a pilot project of the Roman Catholic chaplaincy at Capital Health. Seven parishioners were trained by Capital Health to provide RC based pastoral care within our parish. The group meets monthly and each member visits persons who are ill, housebound, grieving, lonely etc. Anyone in need has this ministry open to them. Parishioners are encouraged to refer people they know who may benefit from a phone call or visit from someone on the team.
