Their strong Christian and faithful Catholic dedication, commitment, devotion and youth have been an inspiration and great encouragement to us all and a catalyst to bring many young (and not so young) adults back into active participation in the life of the church. Max is moving to London to take an Accountancy course, Camilo is returning to teaching in Brazil and Danielle will continue her ministry in the UK for a couple of years.
