| CURIA GENERALIZIA MARIANISTI Rome, January 13, 2005 Death Notice No. 3 (To all Unit Administrations) The Province of Zaragoza recommends to our fraternal prayers our dear Brother, TIMOTEO SOTO ANGULO, who died in the service of the Blessed Virgin Mary on January 8, 2005, at Zaragoza, Spain, in the 79th year of his age and the 62nd of his religious profession. Timoteo Soto Angulo was born August 22, 1926 in Hermosilla de Bureba (Burgos), the son of Sinforiano and Ana. On September 30, 1938 he went to the Postulate in Escoriaza. He began his novitiate in Elorrio on September 4, 1942 and professed first vows in the same place on Septem-ber 13, 1943. After his profession he went to Segovia, and then to Carabanchel Alto (Madrid) for his scholasti-cate studies. He had the following academic degrees: Teacher, obtained at the Normal School in Guadalajara in 1952, and Diploma in French from the French Alliance in Paris. His religious life was spent in various services and places, which were the following: 1945 - 1947: Colegio Nuestra Señora del Prado in Ciudad Real Timoteo was a man in love with the missions. His two years in Africa made a deep impression on him. He spoke of the Marianist missions, especially to children. That dedication to his students was the result of his vocation as an educator which he had until the end of his life. Joyfulness and good humor were among his outstanding characteristics. Death came as a surprise while he was still alert and active. He left
a happy Marianist religious life to go to a full life in the Kingdom
of God. May the Lord and the Virgin of the Pillar receive him and may
he rest in peace. |
