Delegación Diocesana de Pastoral Familiar opens course with retreat in Godella

The Diocesan Delegation for Family Pastoral Care began its 2026-2027 course with a reflection day at the San José Seminary in Godella. The gathering included the delegation team, who analyzed their work network and shared feedback. Participants also held prayer sessions to honor Vicente Prats, a recently deceased member. His wife, M.ª Amparo Martínez, will continue to collaborate actively with the team.

The delegation leaders, Carlos Marroquín and Chelo Sanz, stated they developed new ideas for the upcoming year. They plan to share these plans in the coming weeks with family pastoral agents in parishes, movement representatives, and various services. The delegation noted that parish priests provide essential support in training family agents within their local communities.

The event concluded with a Mass led by the vicar of evangelization, Melchor Seguí, who encouraged the group to continue their work for families. The delegation intends to offer new ways to support married couples and individuals facing difficult circumstances.
