On Sunday, Sept 29, 2019, the SPIRIT students
discussed “ Honesty”. We played a game called “
SPY” and the kids then broke off into small groups
to discuss what it means to “Always tell the
truth”. This Sunday, October 6, 2019, there will be
no SPIRIT. We will resume our SPIRIT Youth Group
on Oct 13, 2019.

Holy Martyrs El Salvador Ministry
Welcome to the second in a series of articles whose goal is to provide information in support of broadening the scope of
our Parish’s El Salvador ministry. Today’s topic is the Land and the Country.
El Salvador is a small, mountainous country located in Central America. It is approximately 2000 miles south-southwest
of Medina and is bordered by Guatemala to the north and northwest, Honduras to the north and east, Nicaragua to the
southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the south. It is the only country in Central America that does not border on both the
Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea and is the only country in the world named for Jesus Christ (El Salvador means The
Savior in Spanish). Although the smallest country in Central America (about the size of the state of Vermont in area), it
is also the most densely populated country in Central America with 6.45 million residents (est. 2019).
El Salvador is a seismically active land as it sits on the boundaries of the Cocos tectonic plate where it sub ducts (goes
under) the North American and Caribbean plates. Consequently, earthquakes are fairly common. There are 22
volcanoes in the country, most of which are extinct, but 6 have erupted in the last 150 years. Many of the earthquakes
occur just off shore under the Pacific Ocean, so there is often a tsunami concern accompanying the earthquakes.
The country is also impacted by hurricanes that originate in the eastern Pacific or the Caribbean basin. While only one
tropical storm (Selma in 2017) has ever made direct landfall in the country, heavy rains from other storms have resulted
in flooding and mudslides during hurricane season.
El Salvador’s climate is tropical (the country is located between 13 and 15 degrees North Latitude), and is fairly
temperature consistent year round. Temperature does vary by elevation, however. Coastal temperatures are in the
upper 80s to low 90s during the day, with nighttime lows in the upper 70s to low 80s. Temperatures in the elevations
generally are about 15 degrees cooler. There are distinct dry and wet seasons in the country. The dry season extends
from November through April; the rainy season May through October.
El Salvador’s geography consists of a coastal plain in the South and two mountain ranges, the Sierra Madre along the
Northern border and the volcanic range adjacent to the coastal plain. There is a fairly large central plateau region
between the mountain ranges. Most of the country’s population resides in the central plateau. The capital, San
Salvador, is located the central plateau and its’ metropolitan area is home to 2.4 million people. The main river in the
country is the Lempa (Rio Lempa), which is 262 miles long with 220 miles of its’ length within El Salvador. It is El
Salvador’s only navigable river and drains more than 50% of the country. On the river are four hydroelectric dams which
generate a significant amount of the power in the country. Unfortunately, the Lempa suffers from pollution due to
industry and agricultural runoff.
