Father José Miguel Díaz Ayllón recently celebrated 25 years of priesthood. The celebration took place at the Assumptionist Parish, “Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Emperatriz de América” in Mexico City together with the Assumptionist community, family members, friends and local parishioners.

In his homily, Father Miguel shared his gratitude to God for the gift of ministry and for everyone who has supported him along his journey. He highlighted, a priest is one whose life becomes a response of God's love. This sacrifice has nothing to do with suffering, but in a renunciation of oneself in order to be at the service of the Church.

At the end of the Liturgy, Father Miguel invited the faithful to a festive celebration held in the parish hall, where the traditional Mañanitas were sung, and plenty of food was shared!

The Assumptionist community thanks God for Fr. Miguel’s love and commitment to his Assumptionist Vocation and for his passion in serving the people of God.
