Guatemala Mission Trip Scheduled for June, 2010

Fr. Tim Thompson will lead a group of volunteers to Patzun, Guatemala June 23-29, 2010 to visit The Prophet Elias Convent and help the sisters with their work in the community.  One focus of the mission is providing primary medical care, vitamins and anti-parasitic drugs to the local residents.

St. Mark parishoners have provided scholarships for 61 children to attend Nuestra Senora del Carmen (Our Lady of Carmen) School in nearby El Sitio.  Check back here periodically for information about trip preparations as well as updates from Fr. Tim and the mission team.  If you'd like to help, email the team at stmarkguatemala@gmail.com.
