The Archdiocese of Oviedo reported the death of priest Antonio Moretón Puig. Born in Ciudad Rodrigo in 1931, Moretón Puig was ordained in 1959 with the Salesians of Don Bosco. He began pastoral work in the diocese in 1977 and later became incardinated there.

His service included roles as the bursar for San Mamés de Tebongo and caretaker for several parishes in Cangas del Narcea, including San Pedro de Culiema and San Martín de Sierra, from 1977 until 2018. He also served as the parish administrator for Santa María de Arganza from 2003 to 2018, and held similar roles at San José de El Pozón and San Andrés de Pola de Allande. Additionally, he served on the Diocesan Economy Priests Commission and was a member of the Council.

His final assignment was at Santa María Magdalena de Cangas del Narcea, which he held until October 2021 when health issues led him to move to the priest's house. His funeral is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, at 10 h at the priest's house, with Archbishop Jesús Sanz Montes presiding.
