Holy Week 2026

As we enter into Holy Week, we are invited to walk more closely with Christ—through suffering, sacrifice, and ultimately, the hope of the Resurrection.

We share with you a letter from May 1992, written from El Petén, Guatemala, where Vincent and Zulena lived and founded the first Farm of the Child.

Excerpt from a letter, May 1992:

[When a friend] agreed to help handle our mail, he asked why we didn’t have any money in the bank, considering all we do.

I believe that one reason is that God chooses to fortify our faith by making us depend on Him. Like the lilies of the field, we are not to worry. He gives us only what we really need to serve Him, and at the last possible moment, so we learn to trust Him.

***Another reason is that we need more of your help—to build lives for the children.***

God provides for those who trust Him; we pray you will too. Human essence is divine; we testify of God to each other.

For Easter Vigil, we walked the Stations of the Cross around the farm under a beautiful full moon, then sat on the pier singing songs of praise into the night. Sunday Morning Father Mario, a retired priest from Spain, visited us with a special Mass for the children. Then two barbecue roasted sheep, orn on the cob, tortillas, watermelon and the first Easter Egg Hunt ever in Peten. The little ones looked under bushes and climbed tress to find their eggs, while the rest of us jumped in the river for a game of water polo. Whenever I’m away from the farm I wonder if there could be a happier place on earth.
