The Bishop of Avellaneda-Lanús has appointed Sister María Aurelia Etchegoyen as the Episcopal Delegate for Health Pastoral. A member of the Hermanas de la Caridad de San Vicente de Paúl de Zagreb, Etchegoyen will coordinate the Church's presence alongside the sick, their families, and caregivers throughout the diocese.
