Profile of a refugee: Former Colombian journalist, now deacon in Canada

Deacon Arismendy Lozada, who came to Canada in 2003 as a refugee from Colombia, is pictured Jan. 7 at the Saint-Mathieu rectory in Quebec City.

QUEBEC CITY - A well-known personality in Colombia, he fled to Canada to stay alive. Uprooted, new to the French language, he lived in precariousness in Quebec City, drawing strength to live from his family and his faith. Now he is in charge of the Latino community of the Archdiocese of Quebec.
