Alvaro Fabian Barreto always had a special bond with religious life, since he was very young he participated in the different pastoral activities of his parish. When he finished high school, he decided to enter the major seminary. The close ties he maintained with his parish priest and the nuns nurtured his vocation.
""I listened to them talk about vocation but above all I saw their testimony of a simple and coherent life; hence when I finished my studies I decided to embark on the adventure of the Seminary." "I asked the Lord to form me and that I would be humble enough to allow myself to be formed."
After his diaconate ordination in 2015 he was collaborating as a vocation promoter and professor at the major seminary until 2019 when his bishop offered him to study liturgical theology at the University of the Holy Cross.
"This year has been a year of beautiful experiences and I have been able to learn a great deal from such meritorious professors so that I can return to my diocese and continue in the formation of future priests and of the faithful that the Lord will entrust to me".
"I hope with all my heart to continue to count on your financial help to be able to continue my studies as well as your prayers so that the Lord will help me to be a good pastor; count on my prayers for you and your families as you will also continue to be in the intentions of the masses that I celebrate."".
