Student Center in Salamanca

STUDENT CENTER IN SALAMANCA
NAMED FOR REVEREND ATILIANO COCO
During the ministry of Don Carlos, one of the youngest elected bishops
in the Anglicano Communion, he fund-raised and built the student center in Salamnaca.  which was named for Reverend Atialano Coco, a priest marytred in Salamanca at the time of the Civil War.  He was young successful Spanish priest who had, among other things, befriended the well-known Spanish writer, Miguel de Unamuno.  Unamuno would also died under house arrest.  Today the center is a source of great activity for our church.  Students studying in Salamanca regularly stay in the center and have the opportunity to attend services in the chapel on site.  Meetings for the diocese are held there and recently a youth camp was established there to continue every summer.
