El Salvador Encounter
For 36 years, the El Salvador Encounter Program has provided faith-based delegation experiences where participants learn from the Salvadoran people about their lives, histories, and hopes for the future.
“Tomorrow’s whole person must have, in brief, a well-educated solidarity”.
Fr. Hans Kolvenbach, SJ, (1928 -2016)
