  • Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses presides Eucharist at Life Teen España formation meeting

    Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses presided over a Mass for the Life Teen Spain formation meeting in Sevilla on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The gathering brought together approximately 80 leaders and catechists from various parishes to participate in training and share experiences. The meeting included participants from the dioceses of Huelva, Cádiz, Granada, and Sevilla, as well as the Life Teen Spain leadership team from the Diocese of Terrassa. Manuel Jiménez, the diocesan delegate for youth ministry, concelebrated the Mass. During his homily, Archbishop Saiz Meneses used the parable of the sower to describe the mission of those accompanying adolescents and young people. He noted the challenges of ministering to youth in a secularized society and encouraged leaders to actively seek out new generations to share the Gospel.
