class=\"\">&nbsp;Our Mission in Peru is located in the Apostolic Vicariate of Iquitos, Intuto, in the rainforest of the country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Currently, a Fraternity Priest and three transitional deacons are serving the people of God in this area with different pastoral, liturgical, and spiritual activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Fr. Gaspar and the three deacons (David, Gaspar and Orcar) dedicate their pastoral ministry to help the entire community in Intuto to build a strong faith in Jesus Christ.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Prayers in the community is one of the aspects that enrich our lives in the Fraternity.From left to right: Fr. Gaspar Garc\u00eda, Deacons Gaspar, David and Oscar (devoted to Mary help of Christians, renewing their consecration to our Mother Mary)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"> Deacon Oscar Chirix teaching catechesis for children in preparation for their 1st. Holy Communion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Workshop and Catechesis for adults has been the best way to form Small Christian Communities in Intuto<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">The only way to visit the mission sites is through the amazon rivers (Tigre and Mara\u00f1on rivers) and the only means of transport is by boat. Deacon David Xinico teaches religion and human values in a public school in Intuto town. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">There are 360 students, 45% are from Intuto town, and 65% from distant villages. Out of these 360 students, few are Catholics, many of these young people come from divided families, and some of them with drug and alcohol problems. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Deacon David imparts Moral Theology to these students and at the same time, he becomes a counselor for them. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Students see in his light and hope and someone in whom they rely upon guidance. After school classes, Deacon spends some time teaching the students how to play the guitar. Friendship is built up and during the academic school year, he invites them to attend church. A good number of students have embraced the Catholic faith.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current Mission Work 2025 Updates 2024 Updates How can others support this mission? 2023 Updates 2022 Updates 2021 Updates 2019 Updates<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1392,"parent":32,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-77","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","no-comments"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Peru | Current Mission Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Fraternity has had a longstanding presence in the Iquitos Apostolic Vicariate, nestled deep within the rainforest of Peru.
