Tenth Death Anniversary of Fr. Francis Guezou SDB
We have a pedagogical facilitation for the poor children to be educated. From Standard VI onwards till College they are followed by an expert committee consisting of Salesian priests, brothers, sisters and Lay collaborators.
Fr. Guezou, a Good Samaritan encounters a leper- “My people have thrown me out like a dog. Who are you, the angel of God that you risk your health and life for a dying man like me?” The foundation continues to carry out this health mission.
Jesus told the rich young man of the Gospel: “Go and sell everything and follow me”. He did not, but Duhayon did. Duhayon was the French man who sustained Fr. Guezou in his social mission to liberate the poor and the oppressed in the hills.
The boys of the school in Yelagiri narrate: “What attracted us primarily to Fr. Guezou were not merely money and the possibility of some settlement in life. It was the type of relationship he established with us” one of them shared. “Seeing a foreigner and a priest working and playing with the boys was a total novelty for the people,” said Mr. Vincent, the carpenter.
