Update from Santa Maria Virgen, El Salvador

On Sunday September 16, Paul Pyzowski gave an adult forum on his trip to El Salvador this past summer, discussing the Anglican Church in El Salvador, a road construction project he participated in, and his visit to St. Mary's sister parish outside of the capital city of San Salvador. A detailed description of his trip, as related in the Diocesan newsletter, can be found here.

The presentation slides can be viewed here.

Here are some of the photos that Paul shared in his presentation:
