Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses awards Francisco García the Pro Ecclesia Hispalense medal

Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses presented Francisco García the Pro Ecclesia Hispalense medal in Seville. The Archdiocese of Seville granted the distinction to García, known as Paco el Chiri, to recognize his long connection to the Church in Lebrija.

García, who is 93 years old, has been a member of the Hermandad de la Vera-Cruz since he was 3 years old. During his time with the brotherhood, he served as a senior brother and held roles such as deputy for worship and deputy for formation. He assisted in restoring the brotherhood's chapel and Christ image, approving new rules, and establishing an embroidery workshop. Archbishop Saiz Meneses thanked García for his dedication to his family and the Church.
