What is Pan y Amor?

“Pan y Amor is a unique mission aid program that sponsors needy children around the world. Pan y Amor – “bread and love” in Spanish – provides both the physical and the spiritual needs in life to these children. “Pan” refers to the physical needs – food, medicine, clothing, and shelter. “Amor” refers to the spiritual needs – love, care, hope, and spiritual formation based on the principles of life taught by Jesus. Pan y Amor sponsors children primarily in Bolivia, but is also present in Colombia, Kenya and Uganda. Sponsors are recruited to pray and to give a monthly gift of $15 to support one of our programs. Many of these sponsors and those involved in Pan y Amor can be found both in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis and in many other parts of the country!”
