A new year is a new
opportunity to see better!!!
Every year in January, Saint Mary’s parish coordinates a group mostly of people from the Kenosha area, with some others, for a week in the parish of La Sagrada Familia, run by the Community of Saint Paul, in Sabana Yegua, Azua. This year 29 people came for a threefold mission trip: eye surgeries, eye exams and a building project. They performed 122 surgeries, saw more than 900 people during the four day clinic and built a house for a family that has some members with disabilities.
The people of La Sagrada Familia are grateful for the effort of these 29 missionaries who every year take some of their valuable time to share with us their talent and love.
These mission trips started
eleven years ago and we have seen from the beginning that it was above all about creating relationships and creating partnerships that have lasted for several
years. This has been a blessing for both parishes La Sagrada Familia and Saint
Mary’s in Kenosha - with some relationships that have been be growing for over a decade. Thank you very much to all those who participated in Mission 11, and in missions past!
