Fr. Uhen visits St. Monica

Last night Fr. Joe, Freddy, and Percy visited St. Monica parish. I was deacon at Mass with Fr. Joe and many other sponsors served as liturgical ministers. During the homily, Fr. Joe presented the parish with a painting of Jesus by an artist in Piura.

After Mass we had an excellent dinner in the Parish Hall. Raffle tickets were sold and we generated some money for the parish in Peru as well as for sponsored families there.

A few missionaries shared their experiences while on mission in Piura this summer.

Fr. Joe then shared photos from three mission trips by St. Monica parishioners. The dates for 2008 mission trips will be set on August 28.
