Our Commitment

The parish continues to participate in the mission work in Puntilla Norte and the Fantasia Islands of Mexico.  When Hurricane Emily damaged the islands in 2005, the parish responded immediately with financial and physical aid.  Rev. Anil George, who is a member of the Diocesan Mission Board, led a team of emergency volunteers who took part in the relief efforts and provided the islanders with comfort and strength.  And the Sunday School students continued to donate gifts to the children of the islands during Christmas.
