Build a home in Mexico with Bishop Austin and members of the Southern Alameda Deanery!

A message from the Rev. Ron Culmer, Rector of St. Clare’s Pleasanton

For years, the churches of the Southern Alameda Deanery have sponsored and built a home in Mexico through the Córazon Construction Program. We love how this mission transforms people’s lives, not only for the family that has their first clean, new home with doors and windows that lock but also for those who join in community to raise a home from slab to roof in just one day!

In June, we’re excited to announce that we’re doing it again! Bishop Austin Rios expressed his enthusiasm by saying, “Sign me up!” Not only is the bishop joining us, but he has also encouraged us to invite congregations throughout the Diocese of California to come and experience this life-changing mission.

Learn more in the Invitation and FAQ.

Questions? Email [email protected].

Can I help even if I can’t go to Mexico? Yes! You can donate! The cost of a Corazon build is approximately $14,000, which includes all the materials for the build, and a bus to take us to the site and bring us back. Donate via Venmo @stclare_pleasanton and put “Córazon” in the memo field.
