Comunidad Rutilio Grande


The community of Rutilio Grande is named in memory of Father Rutilio Grande who was assasinated in 1977 very near to the location of this community. The 55 families who live in Comunidad Rutilo Grande lived in a refugee camp in Nicaragua during the war. The Greater Milwaukee Synod began to accompany these families in 1990 as they made plans to return to El Salvador. The relationship has grown over the years through many different kinds of connections.
