"The Catholic Church in the Dominican Republic is greatly troubled by the situation of her country, and lifts its prayers for the delinquent youth, the drug traffickers, all those involved in this business, for an end to poverty and all that come as a result. The wars of today are in the conflict, drugs, illiteracy, pornography, sex, greed, abortion, war on the family and on every individual that walks down a street in insecurity."

"We believe that working tirelessly for the cause of the poor and marginalized (who tend to increase with the so-called "globalization" and with the so-called world "free market") is the best way to accompany our people in their journey towards a faithful way of living our Faith, aware that this attitude of the Priests consists of a clear announcement of the Good News of the Kingdom."

"What a good way to start this new year, 2017, by honoring the Virgin Mary through her Altagracia image. She protects our faith, she protects our hope... We must always maintain a dialogue with God, and say "yes" to him, as Mary did, with humility."

"The Catholic Church has a great particularity, there is no better administrator than a priest and people linked to the Church. For me it is important to maintain a cordial and respectful relationship with this Pastoral care, we are available for any situation in which we can intervene. Our common home is the Dominican Republic, therefore, we must work hard to protect and defend it together, we must think about our children, grandchildren and those who will come after them."

"We are all human beings and equal in God's eyes and both sides should be treated in the same manner."

"Collaborate as members of the communion of saints, in the salvation of our country and our world."

"Please stop with this situation! Our society is declining every day. As long as we endure this situation, how will our poor society end?"

"I am fully convinced that in the person of the new Pope we have: a man of faith, a man of the Church, a man who feels with the Church. I ask everyone to pray for the new Pope, because he is God’s gift to the Church. Undoubtedly the election of the new Pope is a moment of great hope for all the members of the Church and for all who, while not members, appreciate the work of the Church."

"The culture of death groups demand that unrestricted abortion be approved, maternal mortality does not go down, neither do teen pregnancies."

"I am Catholic since birth. I profess the Catholic faith. I am firm in my belief in Jesus Christ, attending Mass is very important, and Our Lady of Altagracia is the patroness of the people of the Dominican Republic. Here we have the Dominican community united in our faith."
