Mission Appeal Weekend This weekend there will be an annual mission appeal for the Dioceses of Comayagua which is in Honduras Central America.
The church came to Honduras in the very early 16th century as a result of the Spanish effort to go to India. Mistakenly they took Honduras to be India. It was a great priority for the king of Spain to evangelize the new world and enter them into the Christian faith. As a result of their efforts, and the work of the Spanish Franciscan missionaries the country was quickly made catholic. Unfortunately, the church was catholic but without priests. Our work in Honduras,500 years later, was to pick up this great problem and try to provide native priests for the many people who are without the services of the church. All of your attention and help will aid us in this effort to establish the local church in Comayagua.
