The very poor

All families sponsored through Santísimo Sacramento Parish in Piura are poor. They were especially selected from others in their village because of their unique situations. Some of these families are exceptionally poor, many being from the remote, rural village of La Piedra. Some of these unique families are living in a 19th century environment.

Since St. Monica sponsors are selected randomly, why might you be a sponsor of a unique family?

Perhaps it is because of your compassion for another. Maybe it is because God has blessed you and now it is your turn to pass it on. Perhaps God blessed you with being a team builder; some families support a Peru family as a group of family members. Maybe God is calling you to “come see” in Piura, because words cannot describe the actual situation.
