Are you searching for a way to connect faith with action? Have you been part of Sister Parish and wondered what it means to truly accompany our partners in Central America? Or perhaps you are simply curious—about migration, climate resilience, history, and the everyday courage of communities who continue to build hope.

We invite you to take part in the Open Delegation to Guatemala and El Salvador, November 6–16, 2026.

This delegation is more than a trip. It is a shared journey of presence and relationship. Over ten days, we will visit Sister Parish communities in both countries, spending time in conversation, prayer, and daily life. We will listen to stories shaped by history and resilience. We will reflect together on faith, justice, and what it means to stand in solidarity across borders.

Delegates will gather with leaders and representatives from Sister Parish communities throughout Guatemala and El Salvador, strengthening connections across our network. We will learn directly from our partners about the realities they face today—from economic pressures and migration to environmental challenges—while also celebrating the strength and wisdom rooted in their communities. Our time together will include visits to places of historical memory and meetings who will help illuminate the broader context of the region.

Whether this is your first introduction to Sister Parish or a continuation of long-held relationships, the Open Delegation offers space for learning, reflection, and transformation.
