If there is one thing that characterizes priests today, it is that they barely have a minute to spare. Faced with the fall in vocations, priests must multiply in order to faithfully attend to the hunger for God that exists in the world, which causes many of them to hold several pastoral positions simultaneously and all of them are filled with great responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what happens in this case with the priest<\/a> H\u00e9ctor Oswaldo Salinas Calva<\/strong>, A priest of the Ecuadorian diocese of Santo Domingo, a relatively recent bishopric, since this diocese was erected by Rome in 1996. There is no lack of work in this territory, as it is home to almost 900,000 people, more than 80 % of whom are Catholics. With a surface area similar to that of the Community of Madrid, the Catholic Church has a little over 50 diocesan priests<\/strong> and about twenty religious, which makes the work of these priests a self-sacrificing mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
