On March 20th four parishioners from Sacred Heart Parish in Auburn arrived for five days of activity with our school in Don Juan.
Arrival of group from Sacred Heart Parish
They took photos of all of our 400 and some students. Sacred Heart raises money to support our school by having parishioners “adopt” students. The parishioners are given a picture of their student for whom they then send money each month to support the education and nutrition.

While visiting the group helped the students to make cards to thank their supporters, worked with some of the children on their computer skills, and introduced them to some of the books brought for the school library.

Visiting the chapel Sacred Heart helped build
We are very grateful for their ongoing wonderful, generous support.
We are looking for support to complete this new chapel in Peluncon. The parishioners in the DR have gotten the chapel to this point through their own efforts.

This year is also my golden anniversary as a priest. I will be celebrating it in the Dominican Republic on May 21st, and the Cardinal has graciously consented to preside at the mass of celebration in Don Juan.
I will be also celebrating my anniversary at the St. Catherine of Siena parish on June 12th. I was pastor at St. Catherine of Siena from 1987 until my retirement in 2003.
