Monseñor Fermín Sosa bendice la Capilla de San Benito de Palermo en Mururata, refaccionada a iniciativa del consul de la República de Ghana

Monsignor Fermín Emilio Sosa, the Apostolic Nuncio to Bolivia, blessed the restored Chapel of San Benito de Palermo in Mururata on October 3. The chapel is part of the San Pedro y San Pablo parish in the Diocese of Coroico.

The renovation of the chapel was led by Marcelo Laquis, the honorary consul of the Republic of Ghana in Bolivia. During the Mass, Monsignor Sosa spoke about the importance of building spiritual temples within believers and highlighted San Benito de Palermo as a patron.

The event marked the first visit to the Mururata community by an Apostolic Nuncio. Bishop Juan Carlos Huaygua Oropeza of the Diocese of Coroico concelebrated the Mass alongside local priests and a large group of parishioners. The ceremony also included ambassadors from Italy and Mexico, consuls from Croatia, Guatemala, and Honduras, as well as senators and viceministros.
