La parroquia que usa la imaginación para atraer a niños y a matrimonios

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

San Andrés parish in Madrid has undergone a complete structural renovation, including its facades and interior. The current pastor, Juan Francisco Morán, noted that the church was devastated by fire on July 19, 1936.

The parish originated from a primitive Mozarabic site and was listed in the census of King Alfonso VI around 1085. Its identity is tied to Saint Isidore, who was baptized, attended Mass, and was buried at the site. While the area saw a surge of religious activity from immigrants during the post-war period, the neighborhood is currently changing as younger families move into an area characterized by an aging population, local artists, and a high number of tourist apartments.
