Brick sales aid project

Published February 1, 2003

Two large groups of Anglicans from the diocese of Calgary traveled to Chile last fall on a two-week work project called Blessings to Chile. They helped demolish an old church and build a new one at the parish of La Ascension in Santiago. Team members raised funds for the project by “selling” bricks that would be used to build the new church.
