An altar was arranged inside the factory, and a local priest came to deliver the Mass.

This is a private school...generally one month of private primary school costs more than a year of University...but public schools have 50 kids in a class...anyone who can afford it sends their kids to private school so they can hope to get into a Mexican university (world class) which costs very little.
