“There are oaks, wind and rain coming from the west. A dusty road is at the east.
Community soccer field is south; bamboo and empty beer cans all over the north.
Now there is also a wooden barn structure over a concrete platform, with corrugated metal cladding in the outside and pine boards in the inside, plus 100 chairs, lectern, altar, virgin figure and a cross.
Mass is once a month, community activities every evening. Both happen in the same space.
A new chapel for 100 people in the remote countryside of Southern Chile”
