Puerto Rico’s string of natural disasters has left an indelible mark on the people. Yet, their faith endures. In this episode, we visit Guayanilla, a small town at the epicenter of devastating earthquakes in 2020. Immaculate Conception, a 180-year-old landmark church, sustained major damage. Parishioners sadly watched their beloved worship space and pre-K–8th grade school reduced to rubble. We meet Father Melvin Diaz and principal Carmen Alicia Rodriguez Echeverria, who walk with the community each day. Beneath the church’s wreckage is an unwavering foundation of faith proving stronger than any brick or mortar. Catholic Extension Society is helping to rebuild and fortify over 600 Catholic churches and schools on the island.
