FR. GUSTAVO AMADOR ALONSO TABORDA

He died of a heart attack on June 17, 2021 in Rosario, Argentina.

He was 89 years old.

And he belonged to the San José del Sur Province.

Among other congregational responsibilities, he was the X Superior General of our Congregation, elected on 22 September 1979 at the XIX General Chapter and re-elected on 7 September 1985 at the XX General Chapter.

May he rest in the Peace of the Lord.

When a missionary dies, we should celebrate the last rites with devotion, fraternal love, and simplicity. We should remember all our brothers who have gone before us in the service of the Gospel, commending them to the Lord with the prescribed prayers, especially in the celebration of the Eucharist.

We should show the same reverence and respect for our departed parents and for deceased collaborators of the Congregation.
