Antonio, who was about to return to Paraguay after many years in Argentina, called me one day. “I have a consultation and a requestRead More

PARAGUAY, Maria Fischer • Today, March 7, 2022, at 9:45 a.m., Father Antonio Cosp was called to the House of the Eternal Father. We feel a great sadness, but even more an enormous gratitude for all that he gave us.
