Project San Pedro
Project San Pedro is a Human Concerns Mission associated with Holy Rosary Parish and the surrounding
communities working to help those in need in Honduras.
Project San Pedro focuses on three primary areas of need. One is a Nutrition Center which helps abandoned
infants and toddlers in need of medical or nutritional aid. Another is San Rafael, an orphanage which houses 24
children. San Rafael also operates a school that teaches an additional 85 area children who could not
otherwise afford an education. Project San Pedro also works to help a group of very dedicated doctors and
business people who operate the FundalCancer Foundation. This foundation offers mammograms and other
cancer-related services to some of the 7 million poor in Honduras.
Prior to the trip to Honduras in March 2009, we were very fortunate to receive many donations from New
Holstein and the surrounding communities. We were able to give hundreds of children a toy, stuffed animal,
rosary, school supplies, candy, or basic hygiene items during our visit. The positive impact was immediate,
gratifying, and very much appreciated.
Our trip was a successful first step in a continuing journey of spreading God's love and kindness to those less
fortunate.
We look forward to continued support of Project San Pedro from the community and welcome you to participate
in a truly heartwarming experience. Please click here to review our brochure and donation opportunities.
Southwest Medical Aid (SMA)
Through contacts with the Salvatorian Mission Warehouse we learned of a need in the Tucson, AZ area. St.
Andrews Clinic, in association with the University of Arizona - Tucson, offers free services in Nogales, AZ.
Patients sometimes travel hundreds of miles for these services. The lack of adequate transportation is a large
problem for many. Our committee was able to have a bus donated and below we are pictured transferring the
title to the Clinic Director.
