Becoming a Guest

Amenities of the Mario Pastega House include a chapel, outdoor patio and garden areas, children’s toys, central kitchen and dining area, living/recreation areas and on-site laundry facilities. Outside are three RV parking spaces with full hookups. To offer further hospitality, the house is staffed seven days a week. There is a nominal fee for a night’s stay at the Mario Pastega House or in an RV space. No one is ever turned away for inability to pay.
