Unable to embark on its yearly mission to build homes, the Guatemala Outreach ministry held a special event on Sunday evening in hopes of still being on mission for the poor in Guatemala.  Held in partnership with  From Houses to Homes (FHTH),  the event brought together ministry leaders, FHTH leaders, Notre Dame parishioners, and a number of missionaries who have been part of the ministry during the past six years -- including Fr. Jhon Madrid!

" The response to our Guate Giving 2020 premiere event was overwhelming! A profound thank you to so many praying for our FHTH friends. Not to be outdone by your spiritual gifts, many have generously provided the financial support so necessary for our Guatemalan families at this time. With the generous matching gift available through the end of the month, the impact of your donations will be further magnified.  "Gracias" seems inadequate for such an outpouring of love, but know that it comes not only from our Guatemala Outreach ministry but also the Guatemalan families we support."

"It fills our hearts with gratitude when we receive continuous support from very generous and longtime supporters such as the Notre Dame of Mt. Carmel Family.  You put such a beautiful and descriptive program together about the work we do. It does not surprise me that so many answered God's call to provide for those who are suffering right now and continue to do so. Our friends in Guatemala need the strength and comfort of From Houses to Homes now more than ever. With heartfelt appreciation we thank you for your support and for remaining part of our "FHTH Family" at such a challenging time."
