Father Rogelio Cruz of the Salesian Order has found a new parish. Father Rogelio had received much attention for his work with children and teenagers in the Cristo Rey slum area. The outspokenness and aggressive combating of the present government’s decisions – such as during the Pan American Games, led him to face practical eviction from the country. The father clashed with the government, when the price for his silence could not be met. The good news is that the priest will be staying in the country, and not traveling abroad as he had been ordered to do so by the head of the Salesian Order for the Caribbean. The father is preparing his move to work in the northeastern Maria Trinidad Sanchez province. Father Rogelio had explained that he had been ordered to leave his Cristo Rey Parish and work in Santo Domingo after high up sectors in government spoke to the highest ecclesiastic superiors in the Vatican, who ordered that he leave the country. He was ordered to move to Spain, but Father Rogelio wanted least of all to go to Spain because he had been very vocal against the Spanish power distributor Union Fenosa’s operations in the country. His only chance was that a Dominican bishop open doors to his diocese and accept to host the controversial priest. Rogelio Cruz explained that former attorney general Virgilio Rosa Bello offered to lobby for him with Monsignor Moya of San Francisco, and thus the relocation solution. Father Rogelio is now assigned to the Santisima Trinidad de Nagua parish. He will also work with El Factor and Los Limones communities in the Maria Trinidad Sanchez province (Playa Grande and Rio San Juan). And so the controversial priest will move to the northeastern region of the country, where residents have been known for not being very tolerant of impositions and tribulations. In a radio interview, Father Rogelio said that he is not sure he will be working with children and teenagers, as before, but that he would be pleased to work with farmers, if he were needed in that capacity.
