Our Sister Parish Mission
[A Personal Narrative]
by Rev. Robert Cook
In the early winter of 1999 I made a life changing decision. It was to move to Berlin, El Salvador to live and work with the Parish Team of the Parish of Saint Joseph. The road to that decision had begun nine years before in November of 1990.
