Archbishop of Sevilla presents Centro de Noche

The Archbishop of Seville presented the Centro de Noche in a Sunday letter published in the diocesan magazine Iglesia en Sevilla. This social work project originated from the II Congreso Internacional de Hermandades y Piedad Popular held in the archdiocese two years ago.

The center will work with Cáritas Diocesana to provide housing for a dozen people currently living on the streets. The archbishop stated that the facility is intended to be a visible sign of God's love and the Church's care for vulnerable people, helping them find a home where they feel expected.

In his letter, the archbishop urged the people of Seville to provide more than just beds, food, hygiene, or security. He called for communities to offer hospitality, closeness, and accompaniment to help individuals stand on their own feet and feel like part of a family within Christian communities.
