"I began my basic education studies at 4 years of age, at the Popotlán School, in the municipality of Apopa. I continued through seventh grade at the Centro Escolar de Popotlán, eighth, ninth, and fifth grades.
at the Liceo Mariano San Juan Bosco high school in Apopa.
I started college in 2008, but unfortunately, due to my family's economic instability, I had to drop out in 2010 to go to work. However, I felt the call to the priesthood and in 2016 I entered the seminary.
I had always been an active member of my hometown parish, holding positions as a youth animator and formator and also in liturgy ministry."
"Thank God and thank you for the great work you are doing for the good of the Church. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and I wish with all my heart that God will repay your generosity.
Thank you for all the good you do for our Universal Church!"
