“That which you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me”
Compelled by our love for Jesus Christ and our desire to serve our brothers and sisters through the fullness of the Catholic faith, Ave Maria Medical Mission El Salvador seeks to provide:
To all in need, regardless of faith. We will provide healthcare for many patients, as well as prayer, food aid, and the sacraments, all of which are far too difficult for them to receive. We are humbled that Our Lord has entrusted them to our care
Ave Maria Medical Mission is a non-profit organization, dedicated to improving the physical and spiritual lives of needy men, women and children of El Salvador. 2026 will be our first year serving El Salvador communities. We bring the love of Christ, along with prayers and access to the Holy Sacraments.
Our team will consist of medical professionals, clergy, non-medical missionaries, translators, and family and youth missionaries from El Salvador.
Who We Serve: We seek to support the physical, spiritual, emotional, and economic development of needy families in marginalized communities in the rural areas of and through healthcare, humanitarian aid, mission work, and pastoral care. Each year we return to some of the same communities while at the same time forming relationships with new communities who need our help. We see these people as our brothers and sisters in Christ and are humbled that Our Lord has entrusted them to our care.
Who Serves Us: 2026 will be our first year serving and we intend to grow this Medical Mission each year. The founding members of the El Salvador team have been working in these regions with the same ground team for several years.
We have spiritual relationship with the Legionaries of Christ. These holy priests run many of the parishes that invite us to serve their communities. Our mission chaplain who travels with us each day is also a Legionary priest. He administers the sacraments and provides spiritual direction to nurture families to be closer to each other and to Christ.
Where we serve: El Salvador is in Central America bordered by Honduras and Guatemala and the Pacific Ocean. The landscape of the country is varied with volcanic mountains, valleys, dense rain forests, and sandy beaches.
The climate in El Salvador is tropical and humid and can be divided into
two types: the dry season which extends from November to April, and the rainy season which extends from May to October. During the dry season
the temperature ranges from 60-80 degrees F, and in the rainy season it
ranges from 75-90 degrees F.
Be part of our mission to provide care and compassion. Together, we can transform lives in El Salvador!
