The Misión de Amistad began in 1971 when Manuel Ruíz Castro, Archbishop of Yucatán, and Alfred M. Watson, Bishop of Erie, established a cooperative relationship between the two dioceses. Since then, over 200 volunteers have assisted the Yucatecan people through various agricultural, educational and medical projects. Additionally, the Archdiocese of Yucatán has assisted the Erie Diocese by sending priests, seminarians and sisters to minister to the Hispanic community in the Erie area.
