2024 Open Delegation

The 2024 Open Delegation is happening this November!

Are you new to Sister Parish and interested in visiting Central America in a meaningful way?  Are you a member of a U.S. Sister Parish church and curious about other communities where we work? Do you want to learn more about the root causes of migration from Central America or the impact of climate change in the region? 

We invite you to join our Open Delegation to Guatemala and El Salvador in November.

Be part of this special Sister Parish experience, traveling through Guatemala and El Salvador and spending time with community members from the south. We share fellowship, laughter, and learning on this 10-day journey, during which we become one large family.

During the delegation, we will gather with representatives from all Sister Parish communities in Guatemala and El Salvador.  We will make personal connections, grow in our faith, and learn from our partners in the south about the current reality in Central America. We will also visit sites of historical significance in both countries and meet with human rights leaders in Guatemala and El Salvador.
