Columban General Counsillor Fr. Salustino Villalobos, who is from Peru, remembers Fr. Gustavo Guiterrez who died October 22, 2024 in Lima, Peru. Fr. Guiterrez was a close friend of the Columban missionaries in Peru and was known for his work with the poor. He looked for the vulnerable and embraced the cries of everyone in need. His ministry sent a powerful message throughout South America and the catholic church.
"For me, he was one of the most important in the theological field and inspired many people how to live the gospel in their daily lives," said Fr. Salustino. "Just to be face-to-face with him was a very significant moment for me and for many people."
