Because of threats to his life which I wrote about earlier this week in a blog entry, Padre Fausto Milla announced at Mass today in the church of San Martín de Porres in Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras, that he is fleeing the country.
Padre Fausto has been a voice for the poor for decades, a voice which invites persecution from the powers that be.

I am a permanent deacon in the diocese of Santa Rosa de Copán, ordained July 15, 2016. I help in the rural parish of Dulce Nombre de María. From June 2007 to that date I was a lay volunteer with the Catholic diocese of Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras. Between 2009 and 2014 I served as associate director of Caritas of the diocese.

The name "Hermano Juancito" - Brother little John or Brother Jack - was given to me by the children in the Suchitoto, El Salvador, countryside in 1992, a "title" which I treasure - worth more than any doctorate.
