The 400-year-old Church of St. Francis of Assisi, in Luquigüe, in Honduras’ Diocese of Yoro, represents a precious cultural and architectural heritage.
A single priest, Fr. Marcio Mejía, serves the surrounding area which includes 55 mission communities, and travels the poorly-maintained roads to celebrate Mass and administer the Sacraments to the indigenous communities under his pastoral care.Despite the pressing need to renovate St. Francis’ Church, funds were nearly impossible to obtain for many years, even with the help of Honduran Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga.
He had learned of the restoration project after Flora Castro, a local woman, made it her mission to save her hometown church, contacting the Honduran Embassy to the Holy See and asking for help.
