Using funds from St. Clare, our sister parish of Our Lord of Esquipulas in Guastatoya, Guatemala, has purchased beans and rice and separated them into bags for families in need of additional food at this time. Due to Coronavirus restrictions in Guatemala, they are unable to operate their parish soup kitchen, and people are in greater need due to the ongoing economic impact of Coronavirus. A nearby aldea (part of the neighboring parish) is quarantined, but, so far, there have been no confirmed cases in our sister parish. They are broadcasting Mass by internet, television, and radio and are keeping us in their prayers. They ask for our prayers for them as well, and for their new bishop, Padre Benedicto Moscoso Miranda, former pastor of our sister parish.
