On the occasion of the thirteenth anniversary of the passing into our Heavenly Father arms of our beloved Founder, Fernando Rielo, on Saturday, December 9, a Mass of thanksgiving was celebrated in the parish of San Agustín, in Palma de Mallorca.
The celebration was presided by our dear Bishop Sebastià Taltavull i Anglada, and concelebrated by our dear brothers José Mª López Sevillano, on behalf of the President of the Idente missionaries, as well as Francisco Gallo, parish priest of San Agustín.
From Madrid as well, our beloved sister Lourdes Grosso García, provincial superior of Castilla, had moved to Mallorca.
The Eucharistic celebration was attended, in addition to the community of idente missionaries of Palma de Mallorca and the members of the Idente Family and Idente Youth, by the young people and children of the Confirmation and Communion catechesis and parishioners of the parishes of San Agustín and Sta. Brígida, administered by our Institution.
The Mass was very participative in songs, readings, offerings … as well as in the decoration of the temple, which already had for the occasion an impressive Christmas tree.
At the end of the Eucharist, the Bishop, who has just taken possession of the diocese only two weeks ago, was able to greet all those present in an atmosphere of great cordiality. Later, he was invited to the parish residence where he had a dinner with the whole community of missionaries of common life, in an atmosphere of great familiarity and intimacy.
