Catholic Diocese of Dallas Dental Mission

August 6 thru 12, 2011

 This is a general invitation throughout the Diocese of Dallas for a Catholic Dental Mission to Honduras next year, August 6 thru 12, 2011.  For those of you that have been on the Medical Mission or the Youth Mission you are very aware of the many needs of the people in our Sister Diocese of Trujillo.  Because of the unavailability and the expense of dentistry we know that many people suffer from lack of dental care.  A few years ago on one of our Medical Missions Dr. Omel Cardenas and Alex Garcia saw several parishioners at Bonito Oriental and preformed many extractions not only the elderly but several young adults and adolescents.  It is my hope that we will be able to help some of these people plus have an opportunity to provide dental hygiene education to the parents and children to make a difference in the next generation. 

The Medical Mission trip is funded by a donation of $1500 from each participant to pay for airlines, housing, hotel, transportation, meals, water, and taxes. 

Please have anyone that you know that would be interested in going on a mission trip to Honduras contact our office for more information.  It is my hope that we can recruit at least five dentist, along with eight hygienist.  If we can reach this goal we will need at least 15 to 20 support people and translators to go along.  It means working many long hours in the heat, cold showers, and no air conditioning but the satisfaction of serving the people of God and sharing the faith.

For more information contact the Office of Pastoral Services at 214-379-2883 for more information.
