Dayton area Marianists welcome Savio and Hazel Franco.
Savio and Hazel are from Mumbai, India. They will be staying at the University of Dayton, where Savio is starting as a Research Scholar in the Doctoral Program at the School of Education.
Savio and Hazel have been associated with the Marianists in Bangalore, India, where they worked with Marianist Scholastics, Aspirants and Leaders in various formation-related activities. In their own words, "To be formed by Mary and to work for her Mission - the Marianist vocation is a special calling to live out our lives for Mary."
They have been warmly welcomed by the Micah community in Dayton, who generously helped in organizing things for their apartment. Savio and Hazel say, "Like 'Christmas Elves', they worked hard behind the scenes, so that when we arrived in the apartment, it was all set up beautifully"
