St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Burien, WA USA

There are lots of opportunities to participate in delegations to and from El Salvador, so please get involved. First, we’re looking for anyone interested in helping out with the visiting delegation. We provide transportation (airline miles?), housing, meals (lunch/dinner parties), activities, translation, and general support. They really want to immerse themselves in our daily lives, so anything is possible! This is an incredible opportunity to meet and interact with this amazing community – certainly a life-changing experience. If you’re interested in either opportunity, please contact David Newsom at 206.755.1202 or
