Pilgrimage to El Salvador

Description

Pilgrim | March Break - March 7 - 17, 2027 | Intergenerational (14+...) | $2000

During March break 2027, leaders from the East Central Ontario Regional Council together with the Eastern Ontario Outaouais Regional Council and the Pacific Mountain Regional Council will welcome 20-30 people and travel to San Salvador to be guests of Mission and Service partner, Emmanuel Baptist Church. Through this week together you will learn about Salvadoran history, perhaps help build a school, community centre or church in rural El Salvador, learn about peacemaking initiatives as alternatives to social exclusion, violence and poverty.

This visit is part of the decades-long story of people-to-people connections between the people of Emmanuel Baptist Church and United Churches here in Canada.

Adults who have visited El Salvador before will also have an opportunity to visit United Church global partner ADES, the Santa Marta community advocacy and agriculture support group.
