Bishop Salvador Giménez Valls presides over Eucharist in Llucena

Bishop Salvador Giménez Valls presided over a solemn Mass in Llucena on Tuesday, September 29, to honor San Miguel Arcángel, a co-patron of the municipality. The celebration marked the beginning of religious festivities for the town, which also honors its patron, San Hermolao.

During his homily, Giménez Valls, the bishop emeritus of Lleida, described San Miguel as a protector and defender with deep historical and emotional ties to the local community. He noted that the traditional songs dedicated to San Miguel in Llucena recount moments from the history of salvation and encouraged families to teach children about the archangel.

The Mass was concelebrated by several priests, including the parish priest, Héctor Gozalbo. A Mass in honor of San Hermolao is scheduled for Thursday, October 1.
