Changes in San Agustin
-
The New Church - It is incredible but true! Many holes like this were dug by hand by the parishioners of San Agustin to form the foundation of their new church. This past summer our mission group from St. Ambrose helped to mix concrete by hand to fill the holes. Now they are already filled and ready for the next phase of construction - the bulding of the church.Below is the flyer advertising the construction of the Church with contact information if you wish to donate towards the construction of the Church, or contact Darrell Matics or Cosette Jablonski for assistance.
Beautifying the Town Park - On our mission trip two years ago we had a wonderful surprise. The park in the center of town had been renovated and was very beautiful. We recieved this photo recently of young people in the community painting and planting in the park. There is much progress in the air!
Paving the main road to San Agustin - No longer will the people have to endure the problems of a muddy, potholed road when it rains in San Agustin. A project is underway to pave the nine miles from the the main road up the hill to San Agustin.. What used to take up to a half an hour will soon take ten minutes. We are very happy for such progress for our friends in San Agustin!
Shoe shipment - In November the St. Ambrose Church and School community collected 300 pairs of shoes and over 1000 pairs of socks to send to our sister parish. We sent 3 boxes full of the shoes, socks and materials for the cyber cafe which were received and distributed with much appreciation.
