Fifteen parishioners of Sacred Heart Parish in Auburn, NY visited from Wednesday, July 28th through the following Tuesday, August 3rd. While here in the DR, the group worked on and painted three new chapels.
Wednesday, the day of arrival, we visited a free trade zone and the company of Mustard that makes fishing hooks and sells them throughout the world.
Their facility in the DR is their distribution center. In my opinion, this is one of the better free trade zones.

You can see the results of their work on Thursday in the newly rebuilt chapel in Los Lanos. The visitors also put on a meal for the people of Los Lanos.

Friday was painting in L'Elmo and doing crafts with the children there in the morning and crafts with the children in our school in Don Juan.
The craft project of the day was making bracelets for the children that say in Spanish, “Jesus loves you”, “Jesus te ama”.

The Community Center in L'Elmo was the work and gift of the Sigma Chi Fraternity of the University of Rochester.

On Saturday the group moved onto the new Chapel in Peluda. Sr.Chris' Franciscan Congregation, the parishes of Sacred Heart in Auburn, and Saint Ann in Owasco had given the money to build the Chapel in Peluda as well as funding for the rebuilding of the Chapel in Los Lanos.

By now you will have noticed that we used the same color scheme in these three projects, economy of paint.
