Christ Church, Newton, Assists the Diocese of Panama

julio

Christ Church, Newton, has partnered with the Diocese of Panama with the goal of creating mutual understanding, and assisting each other with achieving our shared mission of being Christ's presence in our respective communities.

The support provided by Christ Church, Newton, has helped the Diocese of Panama to build a new church in the village of Lajas Lisas, add a new roof and purchase pews for the church in San Jose in La Chorerra, and assist with other construction projects in the diocese.

This new church constructed for the mission of Santiago was completed on time and under budget, with funding provided by Christ Church, Newton. Parishioners in the village of Lajas Lisas and the surrounding area provided all of the labor.

The Reverend Robert Griner, Rector of Christ Church Newton, was on hand to consecrate the new church building in January, 2011.
