53rd Annual Peru Mission Dinner

On Thursday, October 18, 2018, the Diocese of Pittsburgh and the Chimbote Foundation will joyously celebrate our 53rd Annual Peru Mission Dinner! It will be a night to remember as we honor life – the life-giving, life-sustaining and life-affirming ministry of our Catholic medical missionaries in Chimbote, Peru.

Our dear friend of Chimbote, Mike Clark, distinguished news anchor for WTAE-TV, has volunteered, once again, to be our dinner’s Master of Ceremonies. Two recently returned 2018 mission teams will serve as Honorary Hosts and will be joined by four years of previous Mission Teams. They, too, have witnessed and will share the heartwarming stories of this amazing “Bridge of Love and Hope” that links two continents, two diocese and two peoples, all one in Jesus Christ.

We have a most amazing story to share this year. It comes as the culmination of a three-year outpouring that began at our 50th Annual Peru Dinner. Please come, join us on October 18 as we hear from Chimbote what the schoolchildren and families of Pittsburgh have been able to accomplish when our hearts open to the call of Jesus in Saint Matthew’s Gospel, “Whatever you did for one of these least of mine, you did it for me!” [Mt 25:40]

The poorest of the poor in Chimbote thank you for your prayers and support!
