Carlos Duncan Franco - Brazilian Priest - Diocese of Campos (Brazil) - Pastoral Tours - CARF

Mr. Carlos Duncan Franco

This Brazilian priest is young but has a fundamental mission in a very poor diocese on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro and where the Church has suffered greatly from the tensions that for decades existed within it during the post-conciliar period.

The work of this Brazilian priest

Despite the fact that Don Carlos Duncan Franco has only been ordained for four years, has been at the helm of an extremely poor parishand, therefore, with numerous needs. "It was a real challenge," he confesses. But he has also had a very different mission, since before coming to Spain he was the Diocesan Coordinator of the Pastoral Ministry of Initiation into Christian Life. Two very different fields that demand one hundred percent and he remembers them as "very intense" experiences for the short time that he had been priest.

This Brazilian priest is 36 years old, a young priest and a son of his time. Don Carlos assures that "in these times living the priesthood is a great challenge". and that his mission as a young religious "is to try not to change the world, something that I think many more priests think, as I myself did, but to gradually bring people closer to God through knowledge, but first and foremost through charisma and witness.".

"We need happy and faithful priests, and I believe that our mission is this, to reveal the face of Christ with the fidelity and joy of one who has discovered a treasure." he says with complete conviction.
