A CALLING

Three years ago members of St. Francis De Sales Church founded La Merced, a Delmarva-based medical mission to Nicaragua.  Last Year the group launched its Community Outreach program.  “La Merced,” which means “The Mercy (of God),” provides:

• Plastic & reconstructive surgery, surgical supplies and funding at Mascota Hospital for Children.


• Minor surgery procedures, medical supplies and funding at Roberto Clemente clinic for Women and Children.


• General support for the Marilac School: direct funding, textbooks, tuition, uniforms, etc.


• Financial support for soup kitchen, VoTech Center and Physical Therapy Clinic for Children with Cerebral Palsy.

A new goal for our 2010 mission is to assist Dr. Richard McCann in setting up a dental clinic at the Roberto Clemente Clinic.
