The Holy Martyrs Mission Group is a committee of our parishioners dedicated to offering assistance to young people at our sister parish of Inmaculada Concepción in La Libertad, El Salvador. About the Mission Group Education as a Means for Hope and a Better Future The Holy Martyrs Mission Group offers hope to the children and young adults in the very poorest region of El Salvador. Through the gift of continuing education via sponsorship, the Holy Martyrs Mission Group gives exceptional young men and women of El Salvador a chance to learn a specific trade or vocation, with the eventual goal of permanent employment in El Salvador. The financial assistance Holy Martyrs parishioners endow covers the cost of tuition for students who would otherwise have no way to attend school. By offering monetary assistance for education to those in need, we are able to facilitate the development of skills and trades the young people are then able to bring back to their respective villages, which creates a local cycle of philanthropy, a muchneeded element in the lives of our brothers and sisters in El Salvador. Mission Group Scholars Currently, the Holy Martyrs Mission Group is sponsoring seven university scholars in El Salvador. Benigno Enmanuel Salinas Santacruz is 33, and completing his sixth year of a seven-year Theology program at Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas. He expects to graduate in 2017.

Pictured above are current and former students sponsored by the Holy Martyrs Mission Group. Selection Process Father Paul Schindler is the pastor at Inmaculada Concepción and a member of the Cleveland Latin American Mission Team (CLAM). As he is on the ground in El Salvador, Fr. Paul graciously acts as an intermediary between the Holy Martyrs Mission Group and deserving Salvadoran students in need. Fr. Paul approaches particularly outstanding young parishioners of La Inmaculada Concepción who have exhibited initiative, desire, commitment, and ability over the years, and asks if they are interested in pursuing further educational opportunities. If the potential scholar is interested, Fr. Paul will act as his or her personal sponsor. He assists the young men and women in selecting and applying to a university or trade school program, meets with each student on a monthly basis to monitor how they are achieving academically, and pays their tuitions. Fr. Paul is dedicated to encouraging the faithful youth of Inmaculada Concepción to pursue academic achievement so that they can become beacons of hope for their fellow Salvadorans, while working to make daily life better for their community.
