Although he has only been ordained for six years, don Carlos Duncan Franco has been at the helm of an extremely poor parishand, therefore, with numerous needs. "It was a real challenge," he confesses. But he has also had a very different mission, since before coming to Spain he was the Diocesan Coordinator of the Pastoral Ministry of Initiation into Christian Life. Two very different fields that demand one hundred percent and he remembers them as "very intense" experiences for the short time that he had been priest.
This Brazilian is 36 years old, a young priest and a son of his time. Don Carlos assures that "in these times living the priesthood is a great challenge" and that his mission as a young religious "is to try not to change the world, something that I think many priests think, as I myself did, but to gradually bring people closer to God through knowledge, but above all through charisma and testimony".
"We need happy and faithful priests, and I believe that our mission is this, to reveal the face of Christ with the fidelity and joy of one who has discovered a treasure." he says with complete conviction.
Don Carlos studied theology at the Faculty of Theology He returned to his diocese in Brazil to continue his mission and to help young people and future vocations that may arise from his pastoral work. He is very grateful to the benefactors of the CARF Foundation for making his theology studies possible.
