About Amigos De Jesus Amigos De Jesus, a Catholic Orphanage in Posas Verdes, Honduras, was started in 1997 by Sister Teresita, SSND a Honduran Notre Dame Nun, Christine and Anthony Granese, residents of Norristown, PA, and Father Dennis O'Donnell, Rector of Malvern Retreat House. The mission of Amigos De Jesus is: “To provide hope for the street children of Honduras. Hope that allows them to grow intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually.” The orphanage rests on 70 acres of fertile land in the Northwest corner of a mountainous section of Honduras, about a two hour ride from San Pedro Sula airport, near the border of Guatemala. For more information, see the Amigos de Jesus web site.
Group Mission Statement Upon our journey to Honduras we will continue to build upon the ever expanding relationship between Villanova University and Amigos de Jesus. As Villanova engineers and ambassadors, we desire to grow within ourselves as well as with each other in our efforts to aid the children of Amigos. We promise to open our hearts to those who will find comfort in our friendship, and our minds to the amazing cultural experiences that await us. It is with vigor that we eagerly return with the motto of Amigos close to our hearts, “Follow the cross and you will find hope.
