Santo Domingo.- The companies Inversiones Pleamar and Interra-Diesco Group have made a generous donation of land for the construction of a Catholic church and community center in Pueblo Bávaro, Verón, Punta Cana, in the province of La Altagracia, Dominican Republic. The land, with an area of 6,000 square meters, will be used to create a modern Catholic center that is intended to accommodate up to 200 people.
The companies’ initiative initially focused on the construction of the temple, but it was expanded to include a training space for young people to prevent them from falling into negative influences on the streets. The Catholic center will have a central chapel, meeting areas, workshops and evangelization activities for the community and its surroundings.
The Bishop of the Diocese of Nuestra Señora de Altagracia in Higuey, Monsignor Jesús Castro Marte, blessed the project and highlighted its importance as a space for the manifestation of faith and knowledge. The center will be called “San Juan 23 el Buen Papa”.
The event was attended by local civil and military authorities and marks a significant milestone for Pueblo Bávaro, as the Catholic center is expected to serve as a historical and important place for the community. The construction of the temple will be followed by the development of facilities for workshops and courses, aimed at providing formation and support to parishioners, especially young people, to help them grow within the Catholic faith and avoid negative influences in society.
