July 19, 2025
The second deacon of the Archdiocese recounts the historical moments he experienced during the coup in 1974. Members of the presidential guard arrived and informed them about the coup, while instructions from Salaminos ensured the safe evacuation of 150 children. As gunfire intensified, they had to seek refuge in the Archdiocese's back rooms. His memories remain vivid and emblematic of that difficult time.
