COSTA RICA, Maria Fischer •
It is one of the Schoenstatt shrines with very open doors for priests and seminarians: the Shrine “Family of Hope” in San José, Costa Rica. On December 26, the newly ordained priest Fr. Edgar celebrated his first Mass there. —
José Ernesto (Nicaraguan) and Fr. José Luis Correa concelebrated. The people present at the mass – families with children, elderly, young people – came with great enthusiasm to receive the blessing of the new priest.
Father Edgar had already been at Mass in the shrine as transitional deacon, and often came here to pray and go to confession.
