An effective instrument through which men, women and youth can respond to their baptismal call to love one another as Christ loves us.
SOS is a 501c3 non-profit Catholic mission organization headquartered in Houston, Texas. It was founded in 1998 by Ernest and Connie Braren and Reverend Thomas Ponzini and became incorporated in 1999. SOS is not a ministry within a parish but rather it is an independent Catholic mission organization that operates with the approval and blessing of both Archbishop Daniel Cardinal DiNardo of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and Bishop Rosolino Bianchetti Boffelli of the Diocese of Quiché, Guatemala.
SOS has a Board of Directors who are dedicated to not only improving the quality of life for the Maya living in Guatemala, but also dedicated to igniting the faith of men, women, and youth through a short-term mission experience.
SOS invites those who are seeking to put their faith into action to become part of our teams.
Our primary focus is in developing a long-term relationship of mutual trust and respect with the indigenous Maya.
Would you like to connect one human being to another and come to experience the daily life and struggles of a Maya man, woman or child... and share with them some of our cultural traditions.
Get involved in conducting vision screening and assessments, providing education, assembling and dispensing glasses, preparing and performing cataract surgeries.
Our Teams work together to make a difference in the lives of both missioners and in those we are called to serve. The Volunteer Team is the backbone of the whole missionary effort.
