Father Craig Pregana, Sister Lucia Gomez, O.P., Sister Carmen Adela
Rivera, O.P., Sister Marie Ceballos, O.P., and Father Paul
Canuel make up our diocesan sponsored mission team in
Guaimaca and Orica. Fathers
Canuel and Pregana constantly travel across the countryside
and mountainous regions of the two parishes, bringing the
sacraments to the many Catholics who live there. "The
fathers do a wonderful job there", says Sister Ceballos.
"The people still can't go to Mass each weekend because
of the wide area the priests must serve, but they do have
more opportunities than before.
While Fathers Canuel and Pregana tend to the many spiritual
needs of the Honduran people, Sisters Ceballos, Rivera and
Gomez fight the staggering odds attempting to ease their
physical suffering. "We are in such drastic need for
asthma medicines, antibiotics, hypertension medicines and
vitamins", says Sister
Maria.
One objective of the
Mission
is to teach the people of Guaimaca and Orica to help
themselves through education. The children can't go to
school because most families with many children can't afford
the registration and uniform fees.
Just $50 can educate a child for one year and less than $2 a
month can feed a child for a month.
