IN TONALÁ, JALISCO, MÉXICO

A word of thanksgiving to our pioneer rogationist fathers who came to Mexico in 2004 and who began, in 2005, the first Christmas Fest for needy children. Thank you very much to Fr. Vito Di Marzio, Fr. Rene Panlasigui and Fr. Edwin Manio. God bless them!

            Since they started this event here in Mexico, we have continued it for two main reasons. Frist, it is an expression of our rogationist charism and, second, to imitate the love Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia had for the poor children.
