Compass Assistant Editor
Many religious education classes participate in service projects, but last year's ninth grade class at Holy Rosary Parish, New Holstein, took it several steps further.
The teens formed a parish Human Concerns Committee, and identified two immediate causes to support in Honduras.
The committee is trying to raise funds for a mission served by Sr. Dorothy Pelt, a Sister of Mercy, who resides in Puerto Cortes. For 26 years, Sr. Dorothy has ministered to 66 mountain villages in northwest Honduras. The people in the villages are extremely poor. Many families make less than $1 a day.
