Pastor Ted Freeman and George Bodine, friends that grew up together in Auburn, NY, arrived on Columbus Day (by the way he's buried in Santo Domingo, we have DNA, no one else does) for a week of work in the parish of Don Juan.
Most of their valuable time was spent painting the new chapel in Pilancon.The people of Pilancon are very proud of their new facility. In the previous post you can see what the previous chapel looked like.

Pastor Ted grew up as a member of the first black catholic family in Auburn. He considers himself now to be Catholic and Baptist. He is a product of total Catholic education.
Remember what Jesus said to his disciples when they complained about someone who was not a member of their company but curing in Jesus’ name? ‘Let them be if they are not against us.’
Pastor Ted is a go-getter and has fallen in love with the people of Pilancon. He has great ideas for projects there as well as other campos of the parish.
Mass attendance in the new facility has tripled. Let's hope that trend continues!
