SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Briar Cliff University invites the public to “Mission Honduras 2007: Experiencing Honduras,” Monday, May 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the St. Francis Center in the Stark Student Center on the Briar Cliff campus.

Last November, 22 Briar Cliff students and staff traveled to Honduras, where they spent five days digging 2.5 miles of trenches and laying water pipes near the village of Nuevo Esperanza. The Briar Cliff mission project helped bring a much needed water pipeline system to the residents of this farming community.

“This will be the first public viewing of our mission work in Honduras last fall,” said Sister Janet May, O.S.F., director of campus ministry. “We invite all those interested in our work and ministry to come see this most interesting window into rural Honduran lifestyle and much needed work to be done there.”

The event is free and open to the public.

Briar Cliff University is a Catholic institution with an enrollment of more than 1,100 students from 26 states and four countries.  Students are educated in the Franciscan tradition of excellence in the liberal arts and career preparation in an environment of care and compassion.
