Save the date! We are changing our annual Las Vecinas Pancake Breakfast to become part of Home4Dinner: Entering Advent with Las Vecinas, Sunday, December 8. In addition to helping serve a delicious brunch, we will be selling crafts and displaying items from our Online Silent Auction at the event, so you won’t want to miss this "warm obligation"! The funds we raise through this event support vital social ministries at San Antonio Parish, including student scholarships, a variety of job training programs, and a food distribution program.
From November 23 to December 9, 2024, the Las Vecinas Silent Auction will be open online! This is our primary fundraiser each year to support the works of our sister parish, Parroquia San Antonio, in Soyapango, a poor suburb of San Salvador. All proceeds will be used to support vocational workshops (bakery skills, tailoring/dressmaking, event decoration and crafts, and English instruction), student scholarships, disaster relief, and other social ministry programs. We will begin accepting bids on November 23, but you will be able to preview the items soon, as we begin building the auction site. Thank you in advance for your support!
