The Archdiocese of Burgos has launched its 2026 Diocesan Church Day campaign
Archbishop Mario Iceta and diocesan economist Mariola Rilova presented the 2026 Diocesan Church Day campaign during an information breakfast in Burgos. The campaign, which uses the motto "God counts on you," will be celebrated on Sunday, November 8. The campaign materials feature a photograph of Pope Leo XIV from his recent visit to Spain.
The campaign aims to show the work of the Church in Burgos and reinforce commitments to transparency and accountability. Archbishop Iceta noted that the initiative serves to inform the public about the Church's activities and its mission.
During the presentation, Pablo Bartolomé, chaplain of the University Hospital of Burgos, described a social project involving the Hospital Sisters of Jesus Nazarene. This project provides housing near the hospital for families with infants in the pediatric intensive care and neonatal units who live outside the city.
In 2025, the diocese operated 102 centers in the province of Burgos. The reported income and expenses for that period totaled 49,647,736.07 €. Currently, 1,967 priests, religious, and catechists perform pastoral activities across 1,004 parishes and 26 monasteries.
