Bishop Óscar José Vélez presides over a special celebration for 74 brothers of the PCED

Bishop Óscar José Vélez of Valledupar presided over a special celebration for 74 brothers of the Pequeñas Comunidades Eclesiales Diocesanas (PCED) to mark their missionary sending. The event took place during the World Mission Sunday weekend for participants from 9 parishes and one pastoral center.

During the ceremony, Bishop Vélez gave each participant a Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica to symbolize their commitment to Church doctrine and faith formation. The bishop also assigned the brothers to specific mission locations where they will serve their communities through evangelization and personal testimony.

The participants completed the final stage of the Paso a Misión process, which serves as a milestone in their formation and evangelization training. These brothers will continue their permanent formation by studying the Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica and the Magisterio of the Church.
