Fr. Joe Fitzgerald, CM: Semillas de Esperanza

A few years back, newly ordained Fr. Joe Fitzgerald, C.M., served in St. Mary’s during the weeks that Fr. Jack was on vacation. This YouTube video is one  that he has made about his ministry. Enjoy!

The “Semillas de Esperanza” groups work together to build a better future for their families. Central to the program is the agricultural project that involves formation gatherings, group work, family seed loans, animal breeding, tool sharing and “village sample farms”. Through a synthesis of traditional indigenous ngóbe practice and the best practices of organic methods today, we are developing a new model of “Alternative Ngóbe Agriculture”!
