Concepcion Santos Abrego (see photo) was recently named Deacon of the Iglesia de Espiritu Santo. Fr. Arnoldo Mejia, who is the Dean of the Diocese of Honduras' former "Copan Region" is now living with his family in Copan Ruinas. Fr. Mejia had been based in La Entrada, which is about an hour's drive from Santa Rita/Copan Ruinas.Now the Iglesia del Espiritu Santo will have the benefit of a Priest and a Deacon living close by. The Diocese of Honduras has decided to split the former Copan Region in half. The half closer to La Entrada will continue to be called the Copan Region, while the Santa Rita/Copan Ruinas half will now be known as the "Maya Region".
There are plans to eventually build an Episcopal church in Copan Ruinas. The land has already been purchased. What is needed are funds for the construction. There exists a small Episcopal community in Copan Ruinas... about 40 people. The community meets in the homes of some of the parishioners. It has two seminarians that Holy Comforter is sponsoring with a stipend of $50 per month each.
