Stories of Service from El Salvador, with Fr. Jim Gaynor and Tom Sorna
St. Paul, Sunday, June 29 | after 10:30 am Mass

Come One, Come All — Experience the Heart of El Salvador!
Join us at St. Paul on Sunday, June 29, right after the 10:30 am Mass, for a heartfelt gathering with Father Santiago and Tom Soma, who recently returned from a powerful two-week mission in Teotepeque, El Salvador.

They served the Catholic community at Saint Peter the Apostle parish, which includes 23 churches spread across a vast region. From celebrating three Masses a day to fixing plumbing and electrical issues in homes and churches, their journey was one of deep service and connection.

Now, they’d love to share their stories, photos, and reflections — and thank the many generous supporters from our wider St. Gaspar Family of Parishes and beyond. Enjoy a taste of El Salvador, meet new friends, and be inspired by what faith in action truly looks like.
All are welcome — from every parish and every corner of the city. All are welcome to join us for a glimpse into the joy and resilience of the Salvadoran people.

Guests are invited to bring a dessert or side dish to share, we will provide fried chicken, potato salad and drinks.
