POSTPONED: Cuba Mission Team in Zorilla

November 13 - November 18
Mission to Cuba Update 10/20/2025:
After careful discernment and consultation with Father Juan Carlos, Father Lonnie, and Mother Leslie, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our November Mission to Cuba. Widespread illness throughout the country has created unsafe travel conditions, and the health and well-being of our mission team must remain a priority.
We are deeply grateful for the generosity, enthusiasm, and prayers of all who have supported this mission. Your love and care continue to strengthen the bonds between our parish and our brothers and sisters in Zorrilla.
Looking ahead, we hope to reschedule a trip in January or February—when cooler weather may bring improved health conditions—to deliver the much-needed supplies and financial support already collected.
In the meantime, we ask that you keep the people of Cuba in your prayers for healing, protection, and peace.

 

St. John’s will again send a mission team to visit our companion church, Iglesia Episcopal San Pedro Apostol, in Zorrilla, Cuba, Nov. 13-18. They will worship and share fellowship with the parish and community and deliver much-needed donations from St. John’s. Missionaries are: Francine Walker and Chris Schoonover, co-leaders; Fr. Lonnie Lacy, Alison Dillehay, Joe Dillehay, Paula Kiger, Jan Porter, and JR Saginario. Each will take donated supplies for San Pedro Apostol, including over-the-counter medicines and vitamins for children and adults, altar supplies, and women’s items, and other support for the church.

You can assist the November team by collecting the medicines, vitamins, and other needed health-related items. Purchase them any time before Nov. 1 and drop-off to the Cuba Mission bin in the St. John’s office, or order for delivery to the church via Amazon: Click here for the list.
