In 2009, the Medical Missionaries of Divine Mercy (MMDM), at the request of Bishop James A. Tamayo, DD, partnered with the Diocese of Laredo and launched the medical mission to serve the indigent healthcare needs in our community. The MMDM is a group of medical doctors, dentist, optometrists, nurses, priests, deacons and volunteers from St. Laurence Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Every year, over 1,200 poor and disadvantaged people are provided with free medical, dental exams/ extractions, vision and hearing screening, chiropractic and physical therapy, as well as medical supplies such as wheelchairs. In addition, for those who wish, spiritual nourishment in the form of Healing Services are provided in several parishes. The 11th Annual Medical Mission will be held from November 4th – 8th, 2019 at San Luis Rey Parish, 3502 Sanders Ave. and is an excellent opportunity for those needing attention to be served by professional persons in the health field.

We are grateful to the local nursing programs from Laredo College, as well as the different parish groups and all the volunteers who work tirelessly for the success of our Medical Mission. Without their help and cooperation, this would not be possible.
I can honestly say that each mission is a unique experience and that I have come away from every mission receiving more than I gave, made new friends, and have a greater appreciation of the many blessings in my life. Thank you for your interest in the Medical Mission and the work we do.

Heavenly Father
We present ourselves to you, imperfect yet totally loved by you. We have heard your call and we say ‘YES’ to your will. We humbly offer ourselves in your service. We are ready for the sacrifice your call requires. Lord, we ask you to help us love others as you have loved us. Grant us your gifts of gentleness, kindness, patience, understanding, love, wisdom, and the power to heal the body mind and spirit of those we serve. Our ears are attentive to your voice. Help us to think like you. Let us have joyful hearts as we meet the neediest of your peoples and those who have not heard your word. Let our actions and demeanor tell the story of your love and kindness. Let our witness to Jesus Christ instill a yearning in those we encounter to learn about the God who sends such kindness into the world. Lord, watch over us, protect us from all evil, and lead us not into temptation. At each day’s end let us have peaceful rest and renewal of spirit and strength for the next day as we praise your holy name. Amen
