Archbishop of Puerto Montt calls for recovering sense of community

Archbishop Fernando Ramos called for a renewed sense of community and a commitment to building a shared future during a traditional Te Deum service at the Cathedral of Puerto Montt. The ecumenical service for the national holidays brought together civil and military authorities, social organization representatives, and community members to give thanks for Chile.

During his homily, Archbishop Ramos invited the congregation to reflect on national history and collective memory. He noted that the September 18 celebrations allow people to reconnect with the values, events, and dreams that shaped the country's identity. He specifically mentioned the spirit of those who participated in the independence process and the building of the Republic.

The Archbishop urged the community to address current challenges by strengthening a sense of belonging, focusing on the common good, and committing to future generations.
