Monseñor Oscar José Vélez presides over XIV Congreso de Educadores Diocesanos

Bishop Oscar José Vélez presided over the 14th Congress of Diocesan Educators, bringing together nearly 400 teachers from 13 educational institutions within the Diocese of Valledupar. The event focused on the theme "A grateful look from faith" and provided a space for formation and reflection for educators.

During the opening Mass, Bishop Vélez told teachers that true authority comes from the ability to help students grow. He encouraged educators to follow the example of Jesus by forming better human beings and Christians through personal testimony and faith.

Following the liturgy, priests led presentations on the history of the Diocese of Valledupar. Father James Romero spoke about the period from the diocese's beginnings to its stage as an Apostolic Vicariate, while Father Alex Brand Franco presented the history of the diocese and its first two bishops.
