Bishop Casimiro Lopez Llorente dedicated the Saint John Paul II temple in Benicàssim

Bishop Casimiro Lopez Llorente of Segorbe-Castellón presided over the dedication of the Saint John Paul II temple and the consecration of its altar on Sunday, October 25. The ceremony concluded a construction project that began more than 25 years ago.

The diocesan architect, Angel Albert, described the building as a collective work that combines contemporary architecture with Christian tradition. He noted that the project experienced a long period of interruption before its completion. Albert highlighted specific design elements, such as the towers and stained glass windows, which use green, gold, and ochre tones.

The celebration included the parish priest Luis Oliver, the diocesan vicar general Javier Aparici, and various deacons and seminarians. Local officials also attended, including the mayor of Benicàssim and the government subdelegate.
