The Archdiocese of Santiago calls for evangelization through presence and service in the city

The Archdiocese of Santiago de Chile states that sharing the Gospel requires being present in the streets, homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods of the city. This presence is intended to help build a more fraternal city through service and connection with daily neighbors.

The Archdiocese notes that Santiago is a multicultural and plural center containing more than one third of the population of Chile. Because the city serves as a hub for political, economic, educational, and cultural activity, it attracts people from various regions and different countries.

The Church seeks to learn from the city by observing neighborly solidarity, the care of those who suffer, and initiatives that defend human dignity. This approach requires listening and dialoguing with those who do not share the same faith or opinions to better understand the Gospel and review pastoral practices.
