¡Huellas que no se borran! Yoro peregrina hacia la beatificación del Padre Manuel de Jesús Subirana

More than 1,500 pilgrims from the Diocese of Yoro participated in a walk from the Ayapa detour to the Santiago Apóstol Parish Church to honor the memory of Father Manuel de Jesús Subirana. The procession, held under a theme to keep the memory of their pastor alive, concluded at the church where Subirana's remains are buried.

Father Subirana was born in Manresa, Spain, in 1807 and was ordained a priest in 1834. After serving in Spain and Cuba, he arrived in Honduras in 1856 to work in the evangelization and defense of indigenous peoples. He died on November 27, 1864, in Potrero de los Olivos, and was buried in Yoro according to his wishes. The Diocese of Yoro is currently moving toward his beatification.
