~Chimbote's Failing Industry~

The government in Peru has 3 branches: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. Except, corruption is a large problem in Peru and a great boundary remains between the very wealthy and those who are living in poverty. Chimbote has a poor fishing industry which collapsed due to oceanic climate change, along with overfishing and pollution. Peru also continues to suffer its many earthquakes throughout its past years.

Bishop John Wright started the mission in the 1960s in Chimbote. He died on August 10, 1979, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was 70 years old. Then, Monsignor Jules Roos, a Catholic Pittsburgh priest, was assigned to the mission in 1963. He was dedicated to the mission and the poor for over 50 years. In fact, the people of Chimbote were so important to him, that when he passed away in 2013, at age 82, he was buried there with the people he loved and served for most of his life. Sisters Margret Mary and Mary Lillian are Dominican nuns and nurses who worked at the mission in Chimbote for over 50 years and who still work there.
