Diocese of Osma-Soria holds annual CONFER assembly

The Diocese of Osma-Soria held its annual assembly for the diocesan Conference of Religious (CONFER) on October 17 at the Casa de las Misioneras Eucarísticas de Nazaret. Diocesan Administrator Gabriel Ángel Rodríguez Millán presided over the meeting, where he thanked religious men and women for their service to the local Church.

During his address, Rodríguez Millán encouraged religious members to face challenges by remaining united to Christ and practicing a Eucharistic spirituality that leads to service and fraternity. He recommended prayer, spiritual retreats, formation, and community meetings to sustain vocations and prevent burnout. He also noted that CONFER serves as a space for mutual support and encouraged communities to participate in diocesan life through their specific charisms.

The assembly included a review of the previous year's report and the approval of financial accounts. Participants discussed the need to discern the mission of consecrated life within the diocese, specifically regarding service to vulnerable people and neglected communities.
