This summer our parish will be returning to the Dominican Republic for the Eighth year of Mission. The mission will take place in the town of San Jose de Los Llanos, San Pedro de Macoris, D.R. from June 28th to July 5th.
San José de Los Llanos, commonly known as Los Llanos, is a municipality in the province of San Pedro de Macorís. Much of the land in San José de los Llanos is planted with sugar cane and grass for cattle. The sugarcane colonies boosted the economy of the municipality for many years, whose inhabitants are supported today by public and private jobs and subsistence farming.
The purpose of the mission is two-fold; the Parish Mission is both spiritual and medical. Each time we are at Mass, we hear God’s word proclaimed and then we are sent forth to act on that word and put God’s word into practice. During our Mission, we will gather each evening in the local parish church for Mass. The other part of our mission will include a 2 day Medical Clinic, which will hopefully include general medicine, cardiology, gynecology, pediatrics, and dentistry. This year we would also like to offer some ophthalmologic services, if possible. Typically 400 - 500 + people would be seen each day. We will be accompanied by some physicians from our parish, and we are in the process of recruiting others (both from here and D.R.).
VOLUNTEERS WE THE FOLLOWING BACKGROUND ARE WELCOME TO JOIN OUR MISSION: Our top needs are in the areas of family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, gynecology, dentistry and optometry. If you have a background in those areas and can take part in our mission—or know someone—please contact Father Kearney and/or Jonathan Casilla at drmission@ascensionchurchnyc.org, phone: 646-425-3007.
