Sister Parish Solidarity Walk 2021

As I end my second term on the Sister Parish Board of Directors, I invite you to join me (and Luca) in the 2021 Walk in Solidarity. These funds will continue to support the transformational, relationship-building work of Sister Parish by supporting long-distance relationships during the ongoing pandemic, virtual visits, and coordinating community projects. I'll be walking in the Trinity Las Americas UMC posada in Des Moines, Iowa, in December. This marks the start of a shift back to donor and general supporter after six years of serving on the board of directors (and twenty (!) years of being involved in Sister Parish). 

Thanks for your support!

Maria & Luca

From Sister Parish, Inc.:

Sister Parish's work to grow inter-cultural understanding and passion for justice in the U.S. and Central America is as important as ever. We need your support right now to continue walking with our members communities and building a better world through this pandemic.

The annual Solidarity Walk will provide crucial funds for staff support, communication, interpretation, project coordination, and online activities as we connect our partner communities virtually. This year, in addition to coordinating community projects like scholarships, the organization has also provided critical emergency relief to communities in El Salvador and Guatemala facing serious challenges due to the economic and health impacts of the pandemic as Central America faced the worst surge yet this summer.

In addition to raising funds, the Solidarity Walk is also a time to join our communities in fellowship and prayer. This year, we will do so virtually.  Please join us in reflecting on how we have, and will continue to, to build this beloved community through the current crises.
