Missions in Peru?

[White_Peony]

What are some Catholic missions or charities in Peru?

There is a Tyburn Monastery of the Sacred Heart in Sechura. They have a museum and a hospital. Tyburn nuns are Benedictines, they have several monasteries all over the world. Their founder, Mother Marie Adele Garnier, had a wonderful spirituality.

(My desire to join their order does not bias me at all. Well maybe a little. )

The Diocese of LaCrosse supports an orphanage in Peru and also has a program called Project Milk which sends powdered milk to Peru for the orphanage and soup kitchens.
