During this Year for Priests, the Diocese of Raleigh is presenting a “Did You Know” feature of Priests serving in the Diocese. As new profiles are added, such as the one below, the previous ones will be available on the Year for Priests page.
Who is your favorite saint(s)? St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Philomena. What was your most memorable spiritual pilgrimage? The day I denied part of myself and went to the heart of a neighbor in need and came to realize that Jesus was truly present there. Who was the greatest influence on your vocation as a priest and why? Fr. Arturo Silva, who was the pastor in my home Parish in Bogota, because he was always concerned about feeding God’s people with the truth the Jesus proclaimed.
