It was a joy to present Fr. Steve with this award, honoring a beautiful legacy of partnership and service between COAR and the Mission Office.

The funds raised from so many generous supporters will help uplift children in El Salvador by providing for their material needs and their spiritual needs through our work in partnership with the Archdiocese of San Salvador.

Thank you to Immaculate Conception Catholic Church - Liberty for hosting us this past weekend!

Development Manager Valeria Martinez visited and spoke with parishioners about our work empowering resilient children in El Salvador by providing shelter, education, and individualized support. A highlight of the weekend was the standing-room-only Spanish mass at 11 am on Sunday.

A native Polish speaker, pastor Fr. Bart’s impressive multilingual skills are only surpassed by his kindness and generosity of spirit.

Thank you to Bishop Toups Catholic Diocese of Beaumont for the invitation to participate in this year's Mission Co-op Plan!

Today is the feast day of St. Óscar Romero. We invite you to join us in-person or via livestream to remember the courageous love he showed for his people. St. Romero embodied what it means to be who Christ calls us to be, even when it costs us something. May his example inspire us as we gather in prayer tonight.

Access to clean water ensures health and dignity for COAR children.

Giving Tuesday is just around the corner, and the children at the COAR School and Children's Village need your help with something urgent: their water system is failing.

Decades-old pipes are cracked and leaking, contaminating the water and creating health risks. The sewage system is failing and we're relying on makeshift solutions to minimize foul odors and unsanitary conditions on the property. We've patched and repaired these systems for years, but now they need a complete overhaul.

Here's the challenge: This $150,000 project is above and beyond our normal operating budget.

The good news? Thanks to early supporters who provided seed funding, we're almost halfway there. We need about $75,000 more to make this happen.

As you count your blessings this Thanksgiving, would you consider making an extra gift to COAR this year?

Every gift brings us closer to safe, clean water and dignified living conditions for every child in our care.

How to give:

✉️ Or mail a check with "water project" in the memo line to: COAR Peace Mission, 28700 Euclid Ave, Wickliffe, OH 44092

These children deserve the health and dignity that clean water provides.

Conmemoramos el aniversario de la canonización de San Óscar Romero, un gran padre y arzobispo que entregó su vida por la justicia y la fe.

| ✝️ 7 años de la canonización de Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero, voz de los sin voz

Hoy recordamos que el 14 de octubre de 2018 fue canonizado San Óscar Arnulfo Romero, arzobispo de San Salvador y símbolo de justicia, fe y compromiso con los pobres. 🇸🇻

Entre 1977 y 1980, en medio de la violencia y la desigualdad, Monseñor Romero se convirtió en la voz de los oprimidos. Su vida cambió tras el as*****to de su amigo, el padre Rutilio Grande, lo que lo llevó a denunciar sin miedo las injusticias, los abusos de poder y la represión del pueblo. ⚖️

Tomorrow is ! This year, it's all about Giving Dignity. A gift to COAR is a gift of the regular, unglamorous – but glorious! – means to provide the children with personal hygiene items, cleaning products, and some other essentials. While shampoo and laundry detergent might not seem like much, for some of our newest girls, they are stepping stones to learning to take care of themselves and their possessions. They are stepping stones from forced labor to self respect and dignity. They are stepping stones to transforming lives – and for that, we thank you!
