Celebrating 50 Years in Central America

Since 1963, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word have been serving the sick and infirm in Central America. This was in response to the invitation of Pope John XXIII for religious men and women of the United States of America to be sent on mission to different parts of the world, above all to serve the most vulnerable and needy people in Latin America. The Spring/Summer 2013 issue of The Word Among Us is dedicated to and features stories from our Sisters in El Salvador and Guatemala.
