PROJECTS
Build the Faith Projects focus on areas of economic distress around the world, empowering local communities to build their own churches, convents and retreat houses with our support.
San Juan Pablo II Retreat House. Tabasco Mexico. Inaugurated June 8th, 2023
Our latest project in Mexico, the retreat house, has achieved a momentous milestone by successfully hosting its inaugural retreat. With 120 attendees experiencing a profound encounter with Jesus, the retreat house has already begun fulfilling its purpose. The priest passionately expressed that this endeavor will not only bring immeasurable joy and peace to our community but will also extend its profound impact to numerous neighboring communities devoid of such retreat facilities. This retreat house stands as a beacon of hope, promising transformative experiences for individuals seeking solace, spiritual growth, and a deeper connection with their faith. It serves as a testament to our commitment to fostering personal and communal well-being through spiritual retreats. The retreat house’s successful inauguration paves the way for a future filled with spiritual renewal, enlightenment, and the spreading of divine love throughout the region.

Pequeñas Madres de los Pobres. Jose C. Paz, Argentina. Inaugurated January 2019
As the echoes of the kids’ laughter fill the air at the convent, the nuns know that Build the Faith’s generous donation is starting to show fruits. They can see the immense impact of their work, as they witnessed the transformation of lives, one child at a time.
Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Garagoa, Colombia. Inaugurated August 2017
In August 2017, our first Church project came to fruition, marking a significant milestone in our journey. This endeavor held a special place in our hearts as it was the brainchild of our beloved founder, Christina, who unfortunately passed away shortly after its completion.
Situated in an area plagued by violence and poverty, the church stands as a beacon of hope and solace for three interconnected communities. Its purpose extends beyond the realm of religious devotion, as it also plays a vital role in educating and nurturing the faith of children attending the neighboring public school.
With unwavering determination, the Church has become a sanctuary where the downtrodden find respite, and the destitute discover a renewed sense of purpose.
Although Christina’s time with us was cut short, her vision lives on in the transformative impact this church has on the lives of those it serves. We remain committed to carrying forward her legacy, ensuring that this sacred place continues to uplift spirits, offer support, and instill unwavering faith in the hearts of all who seek refuge within its walls.
