Season of Remembrance

For all the Saints and souls who have touched us profoundly, we light candles in their memory to remind us of the light and life shared with the world.

On November 1st and 2nd, we join together to celebrate lives of those who have made a difference in our families and in our world.

May we be encouraged to live our lives blessed by God and sharing God's goodness with each other.

These days we remember the lives gone before us. The living among us also enfold us, hold us dear and send us forth in blessing.

Learn about one of the many important programs included in the Familias Especiales Center in Matagalpa, Peru.

Yogurt con Amor


Mother Leaders are Angels!!!!! At least that is what families at Familias Especiales believe. Luz, who now is a Mother Leader started making yogurt as a child during the early days of the Center in Matagalpa. To say that this was a life saver for her is an understatement. Now, as a Mother Leader, Luz trains and organizes the yogurt program providing this nutritional food product for patrons of the center, especially children but is available for public purchase.
During the pandemic, with programs shut down or open only minimally, Luz, with the help of Sr. Rebecca Trujillo, has organized a food security system to get food collected and distributed to the family members of the center.
"Because of Yogurt, I am the only person in my family that can read, so I have doubled my effort to help others through making the best Yogurt possible. I am in charge of keeping the recipes true"
