ACI Prensa Staff, Apr 11, 2023 / 04:00 am Father Donaciano Alarcón, a Claretian missionary expelled from Nicaragua by the dictatorship, described how the authorities leveled unfounded accusations against him, took him to the border with Honduras, and abandoned him to his fate.
“They put me in a patrol car with two police officers and took me to the border. They made me cross and told me that I was now outside of the country and I couldn’t return anymore,” Alarcón told Radio Hogar of the Archdiocese of Panama.
Currently, the Panamanian priest is safe in the city of San Pedro Sula in Honduras after being arrested by the regime’s police on April 3, Monday of Holy Week, at the end of the chrism Mass.
The missionary worked in the Our Lady Help of Christians Parish in the town of San José de Cusmapa in the Diocese of Estelí.
Father Ismael Montero Toyos, the provincial superior of the Claretians in Central America, told Radio Hogar that Alarcón “had been followed for days prior” and on April 3, taking advantage of the fact that “he had come from Mass and was not at his home, they arrested him and sent him to the border with Honduras.”
“Thank God we have people there we know and he slept well in San Marcos de Colón and traveled to San Pedro de Sula, where we have another community of Claretian missionaries. He is physically fine, but the situation is a bit difficult because they took him away without prior notice,” Montero explained.
