The "missionary tour" by the priest have a sense of party, meeting, special time of evangelization and celebration of the sacraments.
greater attention to the parish are indispensable 2 sacerotes (farthest community called Bolivia and is 16 hours away). Having two priests would also help to work with the next parish priest who has a sick old with 72 years of age and over 50 rural communities.
