Interested in living and serving in Honduras?
Sisters AlegrÃa and Confianza live in Colón, Honduras at Amigas del Señor Monastery. They invite women to spend either the summer or a full year with them, sharing in the community and service of the monastery.
If you would like more information after reading below and visiting their blog, please come to an informational meeting Thursday, April 10, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in Minthorn 100.
“Amigas del Señor Monastery for women is ecumenical. Sister Alegria and I were both raised Methodist, and we are influenced by traditional Catholic monasticism, yet we are strongly based in Quaker values and practices as well. We have unprogrammed worship twice weekly and use the meeting for worship for business as our decision-making process. Amigas del Señor spiritually shares in a covenant of caring with Multnomah Friends Meeting in Portland, Ore.
Both of us come from a white middle-class background and have chosen to live in material poverty voluntarily, as our campesino neighbors in rural Honduras do involuntarily. You may read more at our website, oakgroveunitedmethodist.com/amigasdelsenor.”
The summer program at Amigas del Senor costs $500, and begins on May 21 and runs 12 weeks at the monastery, leaving Aug. 14.
