On June 4, 2022, in Guatemala City, the Pius X Secular Institute will welcome in its ranks a new priest. It is Miguel Ángel Avendaño Toledo, a consecrated member of the Apostolic Family since 2007. He will be the first Latin American priest to be ordained in the service of the Church’s mission within the Pius X Secular Institute.
For Earth Day, which is celebrated annually on April 22, here are some statistics gleaned from the internet:
– From 15 to 37% of the biodiversity would disappear by 2050.
– Each year between 13 and 15 million hectares of forests disappear.
– According to the WWF, a fruit imported out of season by plane consumes 10 to 20 times more oil than the same fruit bought locally and in season.
– The sun provides the earth with 15,000 times more energy than man consumes. But solar and renewable energies represent only 0.4% of the world energy production.
