I am an african priest in Lugano

Didier Ruef

Don Darius, Don Herve, Don Gerald and Don Jean are one of ten African priests in the diocese of Lugano. All have parish responsibilities and as such it is their responsibility to make Christ's presence visible.
These "imported" priests are more than the driving force and confidant of their community: they give new life to parishes often abandoned because of the lack of vocations in Europe.
