Hello all family and friends,
We (Kevin Earleywine and Jarrett Wendt - seminarians of the Archdiocese of Dubuque) will be traveling to Honduras this summer, to the parish of Dulce Nombre de Maria in the Diocese of Santa Rosa in the region of Copan. We will be doing such things as:
-Pastoral visits to rural communities
-Working with lay pastoral workers in these communities and aiding in evangelization and Sunday Celebrations
-Visiting parish projects (such as major agricultural projects)
-Accompanying the pastor for Masses and celebrations
-Participating in Church Base Communites
-Participating in parish council and zonal church councils
Kevin will be departing for Honduras on June 2nd and Jarrett will be joining him later at the end of June. Both of us will be returning around August 10th.
In prepartation for our trip as well as throughout our trip we will be periodically posting updates on how and what we are doing as well as some of our reflections on this experience.
We ask you all for your prayers, for we need them. Prayer is the most important thing you can give us and the best way to support us, for it is His work, not ours. No prayer is in vain. Please pray that we may serve with all the love and humility of Our Dearly Beloved Lord Jesus Christ. Pray that our hearts and minds may be open to all God has to teach us, and that we will have the trust and surrender for Him to work through us and show us all He wishes to reveal to us. Pray for the parish of Dulce Nombre de Maria, and all the people of Honduras whom they serve.
Peace and God bless you all,
Kevin Earleywine and Jarrett Wendt
