"ADIOS PADRE ANTONIO"

                                                                                   19 de August. 2018


FRIENDS AND FAMILY,

THIS WEEKEND WAS SAD IN  OUR PARISH, AS PADRE ANTONIO, DEPARTED AFTER A SHORT TIME, LESS THAN 2 YEARS, HE WAS MOVED TO ANOTHER PARISH; HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH. THE PARISH CHURCH WAS PACKED AT MASS, LAST NIGHT, TO BID HIM ADIOS!!

 PADRE ANTONIO STANDS IN FRONT OF THE CRUCIFIX!
   THE PRIEST WHO WILL COME IN HIS POSITION,  
PADRE MARIO, IS FROM SAME ORDINATION CLASS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE FOUR PRIESTS SERVING THIS VERY IMMENSE PARISH.  THE PARISH
 INCLUDES 
SANTO TOMAS APOSTLE PARISH AND THE BOCA COAST PARISH, WHICH COVERS OVER 100 MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES OF THE DIOCESE OF SOLOLA

AFTER MASS THE YOUTH GATHERED IN THE PARISH MISSION MEETING PLACE TO BID HIM "ADIOS".  IT LASTED INTO THE NIGHT. HE LEFT THIS MORNING.  HE WILL BE CLOSER TO HIS FAMILY HOME, IN CHIMALTENANGO.  INTERESTING FOR ME THAT THE COMMUNITY HE WILL SERVE IN IS THE AREA  WHERE WE AS CLINICA MAXEÑA WENT IN 1976, TO GIVE SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE IN THAT COMMUNITY,  AND AREA THAT WAS SEVERE,LY  DEVASTATED BY AN EARTHQUAKE, THAT KILLED
THOUSANDS.  IT IS A SMALL WORLD!!

ADIOS PADRE ANTONIO!  VAYA CON DIOS.  SIEMPRE ESTÁ EN TU CASA!
