Fray Casimiro’s Tomb

Initially cast into a deep well with others that was dynamited, albeit poorly. This allowed some remains to be eventually recovered, moved several times and finally interred in a tomb at the Parish Church of St. Jerome, Municipality of Gualaco, Olancho, Honduras. I understand this is where the tomb is located.

8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—
