Biography
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ: We the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit want to communicate that, Fr. Francisco Altamira Peña M.Sp.S. went from this world to the House of the heavenly Father in the midst of great peace. As candles on the altar, his light was slowly turning until he was lost in the embrace of God.
Fr. Francisco was born in Tampico, Tamaulipas, January 13, 1916. He was apostolic, novice and professed on December 8, 1932. Our founding Father (Felix de Jesus Rougier) sent him to Rome in 1936. He was ordained a priest after the death of Fr. Felix on April 8, 1939. He was Attorney General before the Holy Sea in Rome. He served the parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe for 25 years. When he became ill and was more delicate, he himself asked to become part of the community of Jesus Maria in San Luis Potosí and later resided at Conchita House in Puebla, where God called him to his eternal rest on July 7, 2010 surrounded by his brothers.
Father Francisco, rest in peace and pray for us!
Your brothers the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit, and all your children of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Oxnard, CA, will keep you always in our heart.
