“Even the longest walk… begins with a pint of beer.”
It was 13 degrees and sunny as three men began walking from the capitol in St. Paul to San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala. They arrived on January 29, 1973. Come have a beer with us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the walk. Tuesday, October 18 \ Dual Citizen Brewery.

50 Year Walk Anniversary Coming Soon!
On October 18, 1972, Fr. Greg Schaffer, Ronal Motta, and Elias Jacinto set off from the steps of the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul and began a historic walk to San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala. Their goal was to raise money for the Mission in San Lucas Tolimán, founded in 1963 by Fr. Greg.

Supporter of the Month: Margaret Marsille
Meet Margaret, one of Friends of San Lucas’ Long-Term Volunteers. She just completed her annual three-month visit to San Lucas Tolimán and returned home to Virginia. Margaret was eager to get home so she could plant her garden but certainly will miss Guatemala. What you might not know about Margaret is that she has been going to the Mission since 2003.
