Cultural Celebration in Bermejillo, Durango, Mexico

The Bermejillo District of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a growing district that is working hard to become a stake. After months of construction, their chapel in Bermejillo has been expanded and remodeled. The result is a beautiful gathering place for all the members of the church in this area in the state of Durango, about 30 minutes north of Torreon. This chapel serves the members in Bermejillo, Cuauhtemoc, Poanas, Mapimi, and Tlahualilo. An open house was held on Friday and Saturday, March 20 and 21 with a wonderful cultural celebration on Friday night...


This display was arranged to demonstrate how the church involves children between the ages of 3-12 in the Primary organization.
