In the context of a rural Peru, a priestly vocation<\/a> takes on its own nuances. Great distances, scarcity of resources and a strong cultural identity of the Andean peoples mean that the ministry of the priest must be lived from the discomfort and without urban schemes. In this environment, the priest is an expected and necessary presence, often the only stable reference of the Church in extensive and difficult to travel territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this framework, vocation is understood as a personal call and as a response to a concrete need of the people. Being a priest<\/a> in the Andes implies accepting a life marked by constant displacement, direct contact with poverty and a very close relationship with the faithful, who know their pastor by his word, his availability and his daily closeness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christiam's testimony is inserted precisely in this reality. His personal history is linked to the territory to which he was sent and to the communities he serves, where faith is lived with depth and simplicity, even in the midst of great need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A priestly vocation that is born of the Word <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The father Christiam Anthony Burgos Effio<\/strong> was born in Lima on August 26, 1992 and is a member of the Diocese of Sicuani<\/a><\/strong>, in the Andean region of the southern part of the country. He is the eldest of four siblings and grew up in a Christian family where faith was lived naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
