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.
