HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF BUILDING YOUR OWN CATHEDRAL?

Don Justo, a former monk, did…...and then he began.

Until recently, he did it by himself (some nephews provided a bit of manpower) and on his own dime. No help from community, church, or anyone else except contractors with extra materials to donate, and people who heard about him and came to volunteer.

This year, Coke came calling - as part of their campaign celebrating the human spirit (and, not incidentally, selling Coca-Cola) they have put Don Justo on TV spots all over Spain. He may even live to see it finished…..although that’s a long shot for the 80 year-old farmer.

You can read about it HERE in English, and HERE in Spanish.
