Bishop José Antonio Satué reviews first year as Bishop of Málaga

Bishop José Antonio Satué summarized his first year as bishop of Málaga using the terms welcome, listening, and work. The Diocese of Málaga reported that Satué felt welcomed by the local community and noted that he has engaged in both organized listening with diocesan collaborators and spontaneous conversations with people in public.

Satué noted that his first year involved balancing diocesan duties with other responsibilities assigned to him by the Holy See. For the upcoming year, he plans to relaunch the drafting of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan, which will establish the main lines of work for the next few years. He stated that he will not create this plan alone but intends to continue visiting parishes, meeting people, and speaking with priests to inform his decisions.
