Santiago, Chile, Jan 12, 2011 / 12:04 pm
Young Catholics in Chile are building chapels for rural communities whose parishes were damaged in the country's February 2010 earthquake.
The group plans to build six chapels, each large enough to seat 50 people, reports the Diocese of Talca.
More than 120 Chilean young people were divided into two groups for the project. In addition to working on the chapels, they also plan to share their faith with nearby families.
The project is being financed through donations.
