Diocese of Avellaneda–Lanús signs justice access agreement

The Diocese of Avellaneda–Lanús signed an agreement with the Public Ministry of the Province of Buenos Aires to provide legal services to local residents. Bishop Marcelo Margni and Julio Conte Grand finalized the agreement on October 6 to establish direct assistance offices within the diocese.

The Public Ministry will open two service locations to offer legal advice, guidance, and assistance from professionals in the Fiscal, Defense, and Tutelar areas. These offices will be located at the Capilla Santísimo Sacramento (12 de Octubre 162) in Avellaneda and the Hogar de Cristo of the Parroquia San José de Pompeo (Luis Vernet 3561) in Lanús Oeste.

The diocese intends to prioritize assistance for vulnerable sectors. This agreement joins the Diocese of Avellaneda–Lanús with the dioceses of San Justo, Quilmes, Mar del Plata, Morón, Merlo-Moreno, Laferrere, and Bahía Blanca, which already have this institutional tool.
