Priest reflects on heart left in turbulent Latin America
Rev. David Donovan recalls missionary days in Latin America, where poverty and misery shaped his work from 1974 onward. He describes slum conditions, language barriers, and the split between rich and poor, noting that aid models vary and may or may not lift communities. Next Saturday he discusses external forces behind poverty and the church’s role as a church of martyrs.
