Four Missionary Women - Memorialized in El Salvador by Jean Okroi, IBVM.

Our ten member delegation also focused on women’s struggles and on U.S. policy in the country today.

Desde la Pastoral del Colegio de El Soto hemos empezado la Campañ de Navidad colaborando con un proyecto que nos ha parecido muy interesante. El año pasado nos propusimos felicitar las fiestas con una tarjeta de navidad que incluía un disco de villancicos grabado por un grupo llamado Vox-Populi.
