In March 2024 a group visited Cucuyagua to let the families know that we are continuing our mission to raise 1 million dollars for their Sustainable Community Development. The ground work is moving forward.
\nYour donations will change the lives of these poorest of the poor for a brighter future.<\/h4>\n

ADOPT A VILLAGE<\/strong>
\nWe were ready to help them<\/strong><\/p>\n

About the Campaign<\/strong>
\nSt. Mary parish in rural Indiana is one of the top ten largest parishes in the Indianapolis Archdiocese and we have been blessed. When this \u201cAdopt a Village\u201d concept was presented we jumped in. Based on the statistics, and by guidance of the Holy Spirit we chose Honduras as our destination.<\/p>\n

Honduras was ready for help. We were ready to help them. Food for the Poor and the in-country partner CEPUDO had already done a lot of work and were waiting for a sponsor to develop an area chosen as a perfect location for a sustainable community which would stand up to the natural disasters often experienced in Honduras.<\/p>\n

A census and survey were completed. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, St. Mary has now adopted a portion of Cucuyagua, Copan, Honduras where people are living in makeshift shelters and will provide the necessary components for a self-sufficient, self-sustaining community.<\/p>\n

St. Mary parishioners are filled with enthusiasm and joy to help our adopted families.<\/p>\n
