SHARE and LCWR invite you to
Roses in December 2022 Delegation
to El Salvador and Honduras

November 29 - December 12, 2022

Dearest Sisters and Brothers, 

The SHARE Foundation and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) are pleased to invite you to participate in the 42nd anniversary of the martyrdom of the four U.S. churchwomen in El Salvador (November 29 to December 5), and to walk with women religious and the communities they accompany in Honduras (December 5 to 12). 

 After two years of COVID, we are thrilled to be able to host this pilgrimage honoring our martyred sisters - Jean, Maura, Ita, and Dorothy - and all of you who continue planting seeds of hope.

 Our journey will be a celebration and thanksgiving as well as a meditation and call to action!. 
 In El Salvador, we will learn about our sisters' enduring legacy in Chalatenango and La Libertad, where they were missioned, and meet with the relatives of victims of war and repression from the 1980s to the present.

In Honduras the delegation will learn about the vision of slain environmental indigenous leader Berta Caceres and the dreams for the new government of recently elected President Xiomara Castro. The delegation  will join the Vamos a la Milpa as they plant food crops to nourish their bodies and spirit respecting Mother Earth. 

Let us strengthen solidarity by taking up the example of our sisters who sacrificed their lives for a better future in El Salvador and Honduras. Join us on the delegation! And if you can’t come in person,  participate in a variety of other ways, including sponsoring a delegate!
