Bishop Leo Frade of Honduras officially opened
the girls orphanage in San Pedero Sula, Honduras, with a house blessing and
celebration of the Eucharist. The home was named Nuestras Pequenas Rosas in
memory of Rosa Cisneros, a prominent lay person in the Diocese of El Sal-
vador what was murdered at the onset of the civil strife in that country.
Members of the Executive Council and the Church Center staff along with
local clergy, lay persons, and community leaders were present at the
inauguration. The home, under the direction of John Elledge III, already
has four young girls. At present the home has the capacity for housing,
educating, and training 25 girls. This program is the direct result of a
resolution passed at the 1985 diocesan convention in Honduras to study the
urgent need for a home for abandoned and abused girls as a complement to the
very successful boy's orphanage, The Home of Love and Hope, located in
Tegucigalpa. The funds to start the program have come through contributions
of several local ECW's in the United States. Funds are being sought for
support of these girls. Inquiries and support to The Episcopal Diocese of
Honduras, Apartado 1738, San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
