Born on 25 November in 1971 at Bemasoandro he made his first vows on 8 September 2000. Desire will be ordained on Sunday 20 November in Anatihazo, Madagascar”.
“We are all rejoicing for this twofold gift - Don Lazzaris concluded - our first local Orione priests in Madagascar and Kenya. An important event which spurs us to sow with ever more enthusiasm”. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 18/11/2005 righe parole)
