Missionaries from Sacred Heart Parish in Auburn

On March 20th four parishioners from Sacred Heart Parish in Auburn arrived for five days of activity with our school in Don Juan.

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.
