Carlos Andrés Pinzón Castillo is a priest of the Diocese of Ibagué, Colombia. He was ordained a priest on March 25, 2011.
"I am the second child of six siblings and we were all raised with Catholic principles and I was always close to parish life.
After completing my elementary and high school studies in schools in the city, I entered the Major Seminary of my Archdiocese where I advanced my philosophical and theological studies.
After priestly ordination I have rendered my priestly services as follows: in 2011 I was vicar of the Cathedral parish until 2013; from this year I was parochial vicar of Mary Help of Christians until 2015; then I was appointed pastor of St. Francis of Assisi from 2016 until the present year. Since 2013 I have been the Episcopal Delegate for the Pastoral Care of Children and Youth Ministry. I have accompanied since 2012 a family movement called Teams of Our Lady, being a consiliary of a team of couples."
"It is with immense joy that I express my deepest gratitude to God through you for allowing me to experience this opportunity of formation in Canon Law, a study that has made me see our ecclesial reality from a different point of view.
I am grateful for the opportunity to be enriched by the cultural exchange of my companions, from Equatorial Guinea to Poland, priests from whom I have enjoyed what the Universal Church is all about.
I pray for you that the Master will reward your immense generosity to us with salvation, and I pray that many will join in this noble cause of accompanying the clergy in their academic formation."
