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.
