Argentina- Buenos Aires

February, 2nd - Fr Ramón Martín scj ("Danielito" or "Martincho"), returned to the Fathers House this morning in a clinic in Buenos Aires at the age of 74 years.

He had recently celebrated his golden jubilee of priesthood and had been hospitalized on December 22nd due to serious health problems (heart and stomach) that recently had been turning very critical. Fr Martín was very well taken care of by the doctors, his family, some lay people and in a special way by some religious brothers who looked after him with affection until his death.
We pay our little tribute to a very dear priest, to a friend, whose witness will never be forgotten by all those who knew him. May our Father in Heaven welcome him in his eternal abode with Jesus, Joseph and Mary in this day of the Presentation of the Lord and of the consecrated life.
(P. Gustavo Agín, Regional Superior)
