The Community of Saint Paul serving in La Sagrada Familia in Sabana Yegua (Azua, Dominican Republic) was visited recently by Frs. Curt Frederick and James Lobacz, general vicars of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, who traveled with Fr. Tim Kitzke, member of the Placement Board of the archdiocese and pastor of several parishes in the city of Milwaukee.
They came as part of Archbishop Jerome Listecki’s plan to ensure that the leadership of the Archdiocese is familiar with the reality of its sister parish in the Dominican Republic. The visitors were able to see several of the parish rural communities and their chapels, they concelebrated in Sunday Mass, and also saw some of the social programs that the Community of Saint Paul develops in the area (the Health Center, the three Educational Children’s Centers, water projects and the project to establish latrines, amongst others). They also had a chance to enjoy a future project of the Community of Saint Paul, the Eco-hotel “Altos de La Caobita”. We are grateful for their visit and for the support that La Sagrada Familia Parish has received for many years from so many people in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
