Photos from El Salvador

I spent last weekend in San Salvador, visiting a parish that my church has had a sister parish relationship with for nearly twenty years. Santa Maria Virgen is located in an urban area outside of San Salvador plagues with gang violence; one member of the church was assassinated this past September.

Here are a few photos from my trip. A fuller report is available on St. Mary's website here.
