Diócesis de Chillán llama a no participar en la Peregrinación Juvenil a Santa Teresa de Los Andes 2026

The Diocese of San Bartolomé de Chillán is advising young people, families, and the faithful not to attend the Youth Pilgrimage to Santa Teresa de Los Andes scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2026.

Father Pablo Valladares, the delegate for youth ministry, issued the recommendation in coordination with the bishop following the suspension of the pilgrimage. The diocese cited an Alerta Roja in the Metropolitan Region and the risks associated with current emergency conditions as the reasons for the request.

The diocese urged the community to respect the instructions of competent authorities and prioritize safety. Father Valladares invited pilgrims to maintain their devotion to Santa Teresa de Los Andes through prayer until conditions allow for a future gathering.
