This is part of the staff that assists the missionaries while they are there and also helps deliver food, build houses, etc. for sponsors of families all year long.

Last November we began planning the 2011 mission trip to the parish of Santísimo Sacramento. Our team consists of 18 people. In Edmond, there are 12 from St. Monica and 3 from St. John the Baptist. Two are from Michigan and one from Texas. Eleven are returning to Piura and 7 are making their first trip. The total trip will take ten days, with eight days in Piura.

If you Google "Piura, Peru" you will find out more about where we are going. You can also visit the parish at http://www.santisimo.org/us-principal.htm and find out even more.

My blog was quiet since September 2008. Last year I used Facebook, but many people do not use it, so here I am again.

On June 17 eighteen of us are leaving for Piura to serve the poor. Check back to see how things develop.
