From a generous heart of
Aguilar Family, Vocationist Fathers received a house for their
mission in Ermita (it is a pilgrimage center for Our Lady of
Fatima; Feast day is celebrated on October 13.) of Izhcayluma
Vilcabamba Loja, Ecuador. Our Congregation is grateful to the Lord and to the
local Bishop, Most Rev. Hugolino, Dioces of Loja. During the
opening ceremony, Ordinary of the Diocese and Superior General
of Vocationist Fathers, Fr. Louis Caputo, S.D.V. along with Fr.
Lorenzo Gomez, S.D.V. were present in Ecuador. The mission of
the Vocationist Fathers and Brothers in Ecuador, started with
the arrival on 29th September 2005, of one Argentinian priest,
Fr. Marcelo Paredes, who opened the mission on the first day of

2nd priest, Fr. Eduardo Batista Mota from Brazil.In January
