The Diocese of Córdoba will commemorate on September 10 the 60th anniversary of the founding of Diocesan Charities, a solidarity figure of the Church during the time of Bishop Manuel Fernández-Conde and García del Rebollar. Since its early days, the institution has actively supported the most disadvantaged, backed by volunteers and parish charities, essential in diocesan social action.
The Social Action Model and the principles of the Church's Social Doctrine have been fundamental in the work of Charities, whose main objective has always been to provide preferential help to those in need. In this sense, the director of Diocesan Charities of Córdoba highlights the importance of the joint work of laity and priests to realize the organization's mission in the Diocese.
The call to the Cordoban community is clear: it invites participation as volunteers, members, or donors in this chain of love in action. It is crucial to continue supporting those who need it most, including those in poverty and exclusion in 21st-century society.
With the slogan "Sixty years sowing hope, you are part of our future," Charities plans a series of events throughout the year to commemorate this anniversary, culminating in the XI Diocesan Assembly on November 8, where the essential role of volunteering in the institution will be discussed.
The director of Charities emphasizes the importance of this celebration, thanking all who have contributed over six decades to bring love and hope to those in most need. In these words, gratitude to the Lord for the good coming from all who have made this solidarity service possible in the Diocese is perceived.
