came to Peru to
continue with his
ecclesiastic studies
in "Saint Toribio"
Seminar in Lima. He
moved to Huancayo in 1945 and continued his studies in this city
in “Saint Pio X seminar” where he received the title of Deacon
and later on he would ordain as a priest. After that, he was transferred to Trujillo city and
continued with his works.
Thus, on August 15, 1965 he founded Dante Alighieri School on the south part of Trujillo and from
which he would become the .Principal for 33 years. During this time he was very concerned about
the integral education of children and teenagers. Next to the school, he built up Saint Martin de
Porres church.
He also worked hard with the Aguarunas y
Huambitas youngsters by giving them scholarships in
technological institutes to study a profession that
they would later use in their communities. Likewise,
he helped the Seminarists to prepare them for the
priesthood and to give them spiritual guide.

G.U.E school in Huancayo, "José Faustino Sánchez
Carrión" G.U.E school, San Jose Obrero school,”

decided to retire from the administration
of the school and on September 1st,
