LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Since 2006, at least 32 priests have been killed in Mexico.
Authorities believe the priests are targeted by drug and human trafficking gangs.
Bodies have been discovered discarded in fields and on roadsides.
The latest priest to be abducted was Fr. Felipe Altamirano Carrillo, an Indigenous priest.
Mexico's Catholic council of bishops reported he was killed in Nayarit early Monday.
Authorities continue to investigate the murders and abductions, but many believe it isn't enough.
The Council of Bishops did not release further details, but the local media released several reports that the priest was shot dead while he was driving.
Please pray for an end to the senseless violence and for a great change to ripple through the community. Pray for the dead, ask for peace for the living and ask God to turn hearts away from greed and sin.
