from my 1998 CRISPAZ Encounter. Please

![]() This is the parish council at San Francisco in Mejicanos. This church is called the parish of the martyrs. Two priests from this church were killed during the early 80's and hundreds of people from the parish. (The two priests are entombed there.) These people were incredible! The work they do is so impressive. They are the model for Christian Based Communities (which is why so many from this parish were killed - the communities were a perceived threat to the government, so they were considered subversive and targetted by the deathsquads.) |
