Bishop Michele sends don Davide Crespi on a mission to Paraguay

Bishop Michele Tomasi sent Father Davide Crespi on a mission to the Diocese of San Juan Bautista de las Misiones y Ñeembucú in Paraguay during a missionary vigil in Trebaseleghe.

During the service, Bishop Tomasi told Father Crespi that his departure is a response to both a personal calling and the request of the Church. The bishop noted that Father Crespi will join a community in Paraguay that already includes priests and laypeople from the Treviso diocese, specifically mentioning Father Lorenzo, Lucia, and Paola.

Bishop Tomasi stated that while the diocese loses a priest, the mission serves as a way to remain open to the wider world rather than focusing solely on local problems. He described the mission not as an attempt to export a specific model or occupy space, but as a way to help others become disciples.
