On 27 April 2008, CPTers Jonathan Stucky and I attended the last mass held for (and partially conducted by) Padre Rafael Gallego, Said Antonio Echavez, and Martha Lucia Torres Sierra before death threats forced them to leave El Coco, Tiquisio. Padre Rafael has spent the last thirty years in Southern Bolivar, eight of them in Tiquisio, and had, we learned, planned to die there of old age. Said and Marta each spent three years living in and working with the local community and had hoped to continue their work there indefinitely.
