Two Salesians Murdered in Venezuela



It is with a sad heart that I write to you today about the murder of two of my Salesian brothers in Valencia, Venezuela. I'm linking to the Catholic News Service report and a local secular report in Spanish. Fr. Jesus Plaza, 80, and Brother Luis Sanchez, 84 were murdered in the residence of the Colegio Don Bosco Saturday night in a apparent robbery. I'll have more to write later, but for now please pray for the repose of the souls of Br. Luis and Fr. Jesus.





Eternal Rest Grant Unto Them, Oh Lord, and Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Them. May Their Souls, And All the Souls of the Faithful Departed, Through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace. AMEN
