WHO WE SERVE

AMERICAS

More than just a renewal, the Church in the American continents longs for a new creation, to be reborn from its roots, from its own identity, and from there to recover its courage to project itself to the world in the same spirit of Jesus, the incarnate Word.

Nicaragua

Nicaragua

Nicaragua is the second poorest country of the American continents, with a high level of internal inequality and high levels of vulnerability among many of its inhabitants. Divine Word Missionaries serve two parishes in Nicaragua and offer all the ministries that go along with parish life.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica

Our parish in Upala has always been a zone of migrants because it is on the border with Nicaragua. Divine Word Missionaries serve two parishes in Costa Rica and offer all the ministries that go along with parish life. Most missionaries are dedicated to this ministry by operating dining facilities for children and elderly; offering scholarships for students; and helping with the construction of homes. We also coordinate programs for the rehabilitation of alcoholics, sports for youth and food donations for the poor.

Panama
