Bishop Vicent Ribas to preside over Sant Rafel patronal feast
Bishop Vicent Ribas will preside over the patronal feast of Sant Rafel on Saturday, October 24. The celebration includes a solemn Mass at noon followed by a procession.
The Sant Rafel parish was established in 1785 by Manuel Abad y Lasierra, the first bishop of Ibiza. It is one of only three parishes on the island that is located entirely inland. While the original decree described the territory as uncultivated and depopulated, historical records from the time indicate the area was already home to approximately 100 families.
