Update on the Recent Floods in Peru

/

Currently the disastrous floods in Peru have claimed 84 lives and displaced more than 100,000.

We are blessed to say that our friars and seminarians in Trujillo, Peru have reported that they are on elevated land and currently safe.

 Above, see the video of our Augustinian seminarians in Trujillo bringing supplies to the flood victims. If you would like to contribute to their efforts, please offer up a donation here, and stipulate  in the final page that your donation go to the "Missions in Peru."

Please keep our Peruvian friars in your prayers. God Bless!
