Patricia and Edward Geiss, who have been long time members of our parish, have previously worked in the missions of Peru. Now that their children are all grown, and they have some additional time, they have returned to the missions of Peru again. This is their third trip in recent years and they have been kind enough to share some daily experiences and pictures with us. We cannot all be missionaries who travel to distant countries, but we can support our missionaries with our prayers, good works and financial support.

Ed and Pat, who both speak Spanish, are working with poor familes in the dessert area of Peru.
