Spanish Episcopal Conference awards Stella 2026 prize to Toledo diocesan school

The Spanish Episcopal Conference awarded the first edition of its Stella 2026 prize to the Our Lady of the Infants diocesan school in Toledo. The school received the award in the category of Christian Identity Schools.

A jury selected the institution for its long history, its connection to the city and the Primada Cathedral, and its consistent Christian educational project. The jury also recognized student research regarding the origins of the school. Director Ángel Camuñas stated the award recognizes an educational project managed directly by the diocese that focuses on educating for life. He noted that the school has historically provided liturgical, musical, and vocational training to help students integrate into society.

The school is preparing to commemorate the 1,500th anniversary of the primitive cathedral school, which began in the 6th century and served as the foundation for the current institution. An organizing committee has been formed to plan the events and celebrations scheduled for the upcoming school year.
