Bishop Estanislao Dowlaszewicz presides Mass on Santa Soledad Torres Acosta feast day

Bishop Estanislao Dowlaszewicz presided over Mass on Sunday, October 11, to celebrate the feast day of Saint Soledad Torres Acosta at the chapel of the Servants of Mary Ministers to the Sick in Santa Cruz.

During the celebration, the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Santa Cruz highlighted the legacy of the religious order's founder. Dowlaszewicz noted that Torres Acosta, who was born in Madrid in 1826, introduced a revolutionary approach to religious life in 1851 by visiting the homes of the sick to provide care and companionship throughout the night. He called for a renewal of the vocation to serve those who are ill.
