Altar of St. Mary's Church

Above is the wall behind the altar at the front of the new St. Mary's Church. The mosaic tiles are granite.

To the left is the plaque that commemorates the dedication of the church on January 5, 2008, the third anniversary of the passing of Mary Barnyak, the wife of Frank Barnyak, in whose honor Frank Barnyak and Frank and Donna Galluzzo donated the funds to build the church. The plaque also notes the donation of 50% of the land for the church by Enriqueta Lopez.

I am pleased to be able to report that $25,000 has been raised to help pay for the $39,000 mortgage that was obtained to pay for the other half of the land. The committee that is raising funds to pay off the mortgage is chaired by Vinicio Hidalgo, who is the manager of the Capitan Suizo Hotel. Anyone who would like more information or to donate to support the church can reach him at vinicio@ice.co.cr.
