Fr. Jack O'Hara and Peter Dirr


Fr. Murphy and I welcomed Fr. Jack O'Hara and Mr. Peter Dirr for a brief visit.  Both are very much loved and appreciated here in Banica.  Fr. O'Hara has previously served here as parochial vicar and continues to support the work of the mission in important ways.  Mr. Peter Dirr (who serves on the Board of Directors of Medical Missionaries) supports the mission very generously as well and this visit included a meeting with Bishop Grullon to discuss future projects.
