El Salvador Ministry
The Mission of the El Salvador Ministry is to promote solidarity and exchange between the St. Elizabeth Parish community and our sister communities in El Salvador, Romero Community and Palo Grand/Suchitoto. The Youth Scholarship and Formation Program is the centerpiece of our ministry’s efforts. Over the past 11 years we have raised $387,171, which has funded a total of 1104 scholarships. The St. Elizabeth El Salvador Ministry welcomes all parishioners who are interested in helping further our outreach efforts.

Top 5 Reasons You Need to Experience the El Salvador Ministry at St. Elizabeth
By Annie Redd, St. Elizabeth Parishioner and Former School Parent
My daughter and I were fortunate to go on the St. Elizabeth Youth Trip to El Salvador in March 2024. Trying to boil down the experience to a ‘Top 5’ list is a little absurd, I know, as it was so much bigger of an adventure than that. But I wanted to share some of the most valuable lessons and experiences we had as they are life altering in the most meaningful ways – for us as individuals’ part of this wonderful parish, and those we were so lucky to spend time with while on our adventure.
