General Information about our connection to El Salvador
View Pictures from Past Trips to El Salvador
St. Dominic has an ongoing relationship with Santo Domingo Parish in Chiltiupan, El Salvador. Over the past several years, people from St. Dominic have visited our friends in El Salvador. It has been an extremely powerful and often life changing experience for many people from St. Dominic who have gone on the trips in the past. Participants in the trip learned more about another culture, encountered Christ in a new way in the community, met new people, and served to the best of their ability.
There are two different types of trips from St. Dominic. One trip is a relational trip. The focus of this trip is to experience a new culture, build relationships, grow in our faith, and see how we can serve. The second type of trip is a medical trip and it focuses on meeting the medical needs of the people in El Salvador. The medical trip is comprised of medical professional and translators and the relationship trip is open to everyone. You do NOT need to speak Spanish in order to participate in the trip, but we always need people with the ability to speak English and Spanish on both types of trips.
We also attempt to support the people in Chiltiupan by periodically collecting supplies that are needed such as vitamins, shoes, antibiotics, and school materials. Then, we bring the supplies with us when we visit on a trip. We also do fundraising for special projects and for educational opportunities for the children in Chiltiupan.
Hopefully, you can help to further the connection between us and the people in Chiltiupan.
