With passion for projects, Franciscan works to give Hondurans options

Franciscan Father Alberto Gauci looks over a soccer stadium he is helping to build in Juticalpa, Honduras, where he has promoted public works projects for the past 31 years. The stadium, which cost approximate $2 million, is nearing completion.

JUTICALPA, Honduras - Franciscan Father Alberto Gauci's field of dreams unfolds in a remote corner of Central America, far from the limelight of the recently concluded World Cup. His soccer stadium sports a full-size pitch, floodlights for night games and covered seating for 20,000 screaming fans. There's even a parking lot.
