Gifts of Opportunity

This Christmas, we invite you to share joy by giving opportunity in rural Nicaragua by gifting a modern bathroom, a clean air kitchen, a batch of piglets, feed a student for a year and many other options. Your generosity and support will bless a child, family, and an entire community. Whether it is the health of a family, their economic development, or education, your support will have a lasting impact!


How it Works:

1. Purchase gifts online directly with Amigos for Christ for your loved ones, friends, co-worker, or company by visiting our website.

2. Your recipient receives a beautiful card that explains the impact of their gift.

3. Families or communities in Nicaragua receive opportunities that will change their lives forever.

Don’t forget to double your impact as many companies big and small, match gifts to non-profit organizations. We are also planning for next year’s trip June 2023. Check out our website for more details.

Diocesan Synod Novena

Our SYNOD 2023 is centered in the Eucharist, the summit of our Christian prayer. In the Real of Presence of Christ, we are nourished and strengthened as a Church, the Body of Christ, to be ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC. With this in mind, we invoke the power of the Holy Spirit to guide our diocesan Synod by praying a Novena as one diocese. Our Diocesan Novena for our Synod will happen on nine consecutive Sundays, the Day of the Lord. It started on December 4, 2022, and conclude on January 29, 2023. Novena is available for download at dsj.org
