Diocese of San Juan Bautista de Calama celebrates Adult Month with Eucharist

The Diocese of San Juan Bautista de Calama opened the Month of the Elderly with a Mass attended by various community groups and senior citizens. The celebration was organized by the Pastoral Social Cáritas, the Hogar de Cristo, and the Municipality of Calama.

Father David Vargas, the vicar of Pastoral Social Cáritas, presided over the Eucharist. During his homily, Father Vargas described the Mass as an opportunity to give thanks for the lives, histories, and contributions of older adults. He called for the community to move beyond simple tributes and instead commit to a permanent culture of accompaniment and care for the elderly.

The event brought together clubs, associations, and beneficiaries from several programs serving older people across different sectors of the city.
