Diocese of Avellaneda–Lanús Celebrates Santa Teresa de Jesús, Secondary Patroness

Bishop Marcelo Margni led a procession and Mass to celebrate Saint Teresa of Jesus, the secondary patroness of the Diocese of Avellaneda–Lanús and the patroness of Lanús. The celebration took place on Thursday, October 15, beginning with a procession through the streets of Lanús accompanied by priests, deacons, seminarians, and religious figures.

During the Mass at San Judas Tadeo Parish, Bishop Margni spoke about the saint's history and her role in the identity of the local community. He noted that Saint Teresa led a deep reform of the Carmelite Order by addressing religious houses that had failed to reflect a profound following of Jesus. He encouraged the faithful to follow her example by transforming realities that no longer function through personal and structural conversion.
