Mission Possible - Dominican Republic

DAY 5 of Work - Finally finished the drainage and grading improvements (it’s take a while doing it all by hand), painting finished up, many other infrastructure and home improvements, Finished the septic tank repair, roof and gutter repairs/improvements and a lot of little miscellaneous items to do.

We had some fun by catching a local baseball game at our field and catching the USA World Cup Match in the Community Center.

Most importantly and what we are here to do, the group cleaned and prepared 2 homes for two families that we moved in this afternoon. The smiles and happiness of the families tell a thousand words in thanks to Mission Possible and God.

A big thank you to everyone who supports this cause.

Tomorrow brings moving 2 more families into Community 1.

DAY 4 - Drainage/Road Crew almost finished fixing roads for better drainage. Paint Crew hard at work beautifying the Community and several house/infrastructure repair crews fixing sinks, toilets, septic tanks, etc.

In the morning, Fr. Bob led a visit down to the river. In the U.S., waterfront/river property is expensive and highly sought. Down here, it’s where all the debris, trash and sanitary waste are. This is where the impoverished live that we try to help. It’s a very impactful stop to show the group of our work.

DAY 3 - Back up to night of Day 2 where we celebrated Birthdays of 3 Missionaries with Cake and a chorus of Happy Birthday.

Back to Day 3… Baseball Clinic being held with children of various ages where everyone involved had a great time.

Medical team seeing an average of about a 100 patients a day bring basic care to those in need.

Paint and Caliche (stone) crew hard at work making the infrastructure (roads and houses) much better for the residents.

The team also made a quick visit to a local market where the vast majority of local residents shop.

Tomorrow brings more painting, caliche, repairs to houses and infrastructure.

As our Mission Possible - Dominican Republic team prepares to serve in the Dominican Republic, we ask our parish family to keep them in prayer.

These missionaries will spend their time building homes, serving communities, sharing Christ’s love, and forming relationships that transcend language and culture. While they will travel to make a difference in the lives of others, they will undoubtedly return changed themselves.

Please join us in praying for their safety, their work, the families they will encounter, and the lasting impact of this mission.

May God guide their hands, strengthen their hearts, and use them as instruments of His peace.

🙏 Please keep our missionaries in your prayers throughout their journey.

Day 1. First full day of work in Community 2. The group first took a tour of Community 1 and our baseball field.

Work projects today include painting houses for new families, repair of housing items, moving A LOT of “kalechi” (aggregate base) to help drainage, and landscaping projects.
Medical team started seeing patients today and helping a very needy people.

Very strong start to the week.
