Diocese of Ávila celebrates Domund centenary with missionary testimonies

The Diocese of Ávila opened a commemorative exhibition at the Palacio de los Verdugo to mark the centenary of World Mission Sunday, known as Domund. The display features the stories and testimonies of men and women from the diocese who served as missionaries over the last century.

Mercedes Sánchez, the diocesan delegate for missions, said the project serves to honor these individuals, make their histories visible, and thank them for leaving their homes and families to serve others in distant locations. To prepare the exhibition, the diocesan mission delegation spent the summer months searching for and collecting missionary testimonies.

The exhibition is scheduled to remain open to the public until October 18. During the opening event, two active missionaries and several relatives of deceased missionaries attended the presentation.
