MIssion Trip Season to Piura Begins


St. Monica parishioners John, Gayle, and Michael Stanfill joined the 29-member Medical Mission Team doing eye and tonsil surgeries. Also from our parish (I think) are Ed and Shirley Glinski who recently moved to Edmond from OKC.

Part of the team arrived in Piura at about the same time as their medical supplies that were on the ocean-going container shipped in February from Edmond. Family-to-Family boxes on the container are being delivered to sponsored Peruvian families.

The St. Monica Parish Mission Trip is nearly ready for their trip that begins on June 13. Airline tickets are being finalized, T-shirts, Bibles, and crucifixes are being distributed, and a team blessing is scheduled for the 5:30 Mass on June 7 at St. Monica.
