Cuba’s president, Raul Castro, joined by Cuba’s bishops, representatives from the Vatican, the U.S., Italy and the Bahamas, inaugurated the San Carlos and San Ambrosio Seminary on November 3.
This is the first major church-related construction since Fidel Castro’s revolution in the late 1950s.
Pope John Paul II blessed the first stone of the seminary back in 1998, when he visited the island nation, and at which time then president Fidel Castro pledged to support the project.
May the Cuban people be blessed with many priests to serve them.
