Ixim & the Guatemala Earthquake
People who have heard about the earthquake in Guatemala have naturally wondered about Fr. Damian and those on the Ixim mission trip. The following is a statement from Susan Naatz who is part of Ixim's leadership:
Dear family and friends of the Guatemala mission group,
I have received a couple of inquiries from some of you about a news item that was released around lunchtime today. This morning there was an earthquake off the coast of Guatemala about 60 miles from Guatemala City. We immediately contacted the mission group through Bruce McGregor of KVSS who called his wife Kris. We were relieved to find out that they were not even aware of it. Not only had they experienced nothing, they had no news nor had they received any phone calls (from Guatemalan associates) about it.
Katie Zimmer left a voicemail shortly after that just saying: “Please let family and friends know that we are doing wonderfully well and have been totally unaware of this occurrence.”
From what I’ve read online, it looks like people in Guatemala City felt the tremors in Guatemala City but (at least so far) the news doesn’t indicate that there was much damage. Since the group is flying out of Guatemala City on Wednesday, our travel agent is checking with the airlines to make sure all is well at the airport.
One of the articles online explained that the Guatemala quake occurred 60 miles or more underground. The Haitian quake was “surface”…only five miles underground which makes a big difference.
Please know that Terry Wood, Bruce McGregor and I will be staying in contact with one another and keeping an eye on the news.
If you hear from your loved ones and have any updates or news, please let me know and I will pass it on.
Thank you!

Young Neighbors in Action
15 of our youth participated in the Young Neighbors in Action Mission Trip to Winnebago a few weeks ago.
Their task was to clean and spruce up the Veteran's Memorial Park (aka: Pow Wow Grounds.)
It wasn't all work as they also played and prayed together throughout the trip.
Thank you for being disciples and representing our parish to the world.
