Diocese of Málaga forms Clergy Delegation team

The Diocese of Málaga has formed a new team for its Delegation for the Clergy to assist the bishop in supporting priests and deacons. Delegate José Emilio Cabra stated that the group works to provide accompaniment, ongoing formation, and organized meetings for the clergy.

The team includes José Luis Bellón, who assists priests in their first decade of ministry, and Ángel Antonio Chacón, who supports elderly and sick priests. Emilio López Navas serves permanent deacons and candidates. Representing religious priests is Ismael García, while Antonio del Río and Antonio Aguilera represent priests in their first decade and elderly priests, respectively.

The delegation organizes retreats and spiritual exercises, helps priests moving from other dioceses integrate into the local Church, and assists newly ordained priests. Cabra noted that while the team manages specific tasks like discernment for diaconate candidates, the responsibility for supporting one another belongs to all clergy members.
