""From Mass to the Mountain" takes you to Easter Panama, where decades of government corruption and neglect have impoverished the region. But thanks to the tireless efforts of one priest to build infrastructure, protect watersheds, and conserve the rainforest, life is looking up for the locals. Father Wally "Padre Pablo" Kasuboski is a Wisconsin-born priest who was sent to Panama by his diocese in 1988. There, deep in the Panamanian jungle, Padre found something he never expected a community that was literally dying of thirst. He immediately went to work building aqueducts and preserving watersheds for the current population. 28 years later, Padre is now tackling his most ambitious project yet, building a dam in the remote Darien Province. If he is successful this will be "the largest rural water system in Latin America.""--container
