The man, who was wearing green military-style clothing, had been decapitated.
Santa Anita is located just nine miles from the city of Guachochi, where the Diocese of Tarahumara is headquartered.
Father Enrique Urzúa, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe cathedral in Guachochi, arrived in Santa Anita on June 6. In a statement to ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner, he shared that what he found was “a heartbreaking situation.”
“They completely blasted the [church]” as well as the small room that served to welcome the missionaries who came to evangelize the town.
However, the human drama was even more overwhelming. “I came across three children who are without their parents and who were there, abandoned,” the priest said.
The youngest of the minors he rescued was just 1 year old, while the other two were 9 and 11.
