Diocese of Málaga promotes Semana contra la Soledad no Deseada

The Diocese of Málaga is supporting the Week Against Unwanted Loneliness, an initiative organized by the Order of Saint John of God alongside various church and civil organizations. The campaign, which takes place during October, addresses isolation affecting elderly people, youth, and vulnerable populations in both small towns and urban centers.

The diocese noted that this form of poverty affects individuals who are physically or digitally connected but remain socially isolated. In a statement, the diocese referenced Pope Francis's encyclical Fratelli tutti, which describes how individual interests can weaken community life and increase loneliness in a crowded world.
