With a great sorrow, admiration for a life completely dedicated to Jesus, Don Bosco and his mission! During past 8 years Fr. Agustin was close to me and I appreciate many times his loyalty, professional approach and Salesian spirit in his mission. Many Salesian provinces in the world did benefit from his service of Mission Office director, always close to the successor of Don Bosco. From Haiti to the Philippines (Cebu), from the PDO and Mission Office seminars publication care to the daily business of fundraising (especially fostering the modern IT approach in the fundraising and benefactors accompaniment,

he was always ready to help, advice and accompany, very good communicator.
