This year, Principal Brian Sinchak and faculty member Jim Boyle
took senior high students on a journey to Ecuador as part of the Rostro
de Cristo program. Founded in 1988 by Fr. Jim Ronan of the Archdiocese
of Boston, MA, Rostro de Cristo is a Volunteer & Retreat Program of
the Catholic Church based in Durán, Ecuador. With its first house in
central Durán over 15 years ago, the Rostro de Cristo community is
constantly moving to the areas of Durán where the need is greatest. As
the community has moved it has also grown, from its first year of only
three in-country volunteers, to eleven volunteers in two communities
and a growing community of nearly 100 alumni. Currently volunteers are
living and working in the communities of Antonio Jose de Sucre &
Arbolito, and hosting 25 retreat groups year round from a diverse pool
of colleges, universities, and high schools across the country.
