There was a Send-Off Celebration for missioners headed to Honduras. The celebration was held at St Joseph’s Church in Le Mars. 42 students, teachers, and adults are part of Gehlen Catholic Mission Honduras this year. Their theme is “Changing Lives”. After the celebration, the group immediately left for their mission to Honduras.
Ann Oloff, along with Theresa Berg, are the new co-leaders of the Gehlen Mission Honduras, after Carolyn Bickford stepped back.
