“My aspiration is to educate myself further to provide better service to the Church." During his years at the seminary in Villahermosa, Mexico, he studied books authored by professors who later taught him in Pamplona: "It was so thrilling to meet the authors of the books I had read. They shared their love for Theology first hand. From them, I learned that theology is a way to love God. No one loves what they do not know, and they instilled in us the hunger to know God more.” Héctor Alejandro Pérez TEO 22

“Both at the University and at the Bidasoa International Seminary, we are provided with the necessary environment to educate ourselves and overcome challenges. The purpose of a priest's life is not about himself, but about loving the Lord and one's neighbor, and that is evident in each of the hundred classmates from different countries who study here.” Hasitha Menaka Nanayakkara Bach.
