Diocese of Jaca remembers two beloved bishops

The Diocese of Jaca and the Diocese of Huesca are commemorating the 25th anniversary of the deaths of Bishop José María Conget and Bishop Javier Osés. Both bishops died in 2001 within a few days of each other.

Father Pedro Aguado Cuesta noted that the dioceses are remembering these two men because their lives help the local Church understand its current circumstances and the steps needed to follow the Gospel. He stated that the faithful recognize the authenticity and honesty of these pastors.

The commemoration draws on the biblical passage from the prophet Jeremiah, which promises shepherds after God's own heart. Father Aguado Cuesta said the memory of these bishops serves as a way to thank God for providing pastors who were close to their communities.
