Diocese of San Bartolomé de Chillán peregrinates with the Virgin of Carmen

Pilgrims in the Chillán Deanery processed with an image of the Virgin of Carmen to observe the Day of Prayer for Chile. During the procession, students from Colegio La Purísima Concepción led the Rosary, and the event was broadcast by Radio El Sembrador. The Regimiento N°9 Chillán escorted the image from the Parroquia San Bernardo and through the streets leading to the Catedral.

The day concluded with a Santa Misa por la Patria, presided over by Father Patricio Fuentes Benavides, the Vicar General of the diocese. During his homily, Father Fuentes Benavides thanked Defensa Civil, Carabineros, volunteers, and coordination teams for their help. He urged the faithful to ensure their daily actions match their faith and to contribute to a more just and solidary country through their work and studies. Bishop Andrés Ferrada, who is currently in Rome, sent a greeting to the pilgrims.
