The Center for Social Works in Chimbote is a Mission of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh.

61st Annual Peru Mission Dinner

Our annual dinner was held on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the Sheraton Hotel at Station Square. Thank you to all who joined us in support of our mission. If you were unable to attend, you can still show your support!

Our Annual Chimbote Mission Dinner honoring life – the life-giving, life-sustaining and life-affirming ministry of our Catholic medical missionaries in Chimbote, Peru, was held on October 15, 2026

This annual night of celebration strengthens the Center of Social Works where there has now been more than 100,000 babies born at the maternity hospital, and where the health clinic is beginning to ramp up to its pre-pandemic volume of 1,000 patients per day.

 

Stay tuned for our 2026 dinner recap and video!

If you were unable to attend this year’s dinner, you can still support our mission with your donation.

“Building on the Rock Foundation”

Thanks to mission partners like you, in 2022, we were able to invest more than $200,000 in an Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade Project that included a generator and other critical upgrades. In 2024, again, due to your ongoing support, the board of the Chimbote Foundation approved an IT Renovation Project at an estimated cost of $500,000. As an example of why this too is critical, many of their current workstations are running unsupported Microsoft operating systems from the 1990s.

Thank You to Our 2026 Sponsors (Sponsor List Coming Soon!)
