Mons. Ramón Valdivia presides over Voto a la Virgen del Rosario in Cádiz

Bishop Ramón Valdivia presided over the traditional Voto a la Virgen del Rosario in Cádiz on October 7. The ceremony, held at the Santo Domingo church, marked the first time the apostolic administrator of the Diocese of Cádiz y Ceuta led the event.

Mayor Bruno García officially renewed the city's commitment to the Virgin of the Rosary during the service. This tradition began in 1730 when the municipal council established the vow to express gratitude following the end of a second yellow fever epidemic.

In his homily, Bishop Valdivia spoke about the importance of hope, unity, and solidarity through devotion to the Virgin. The ceremony included civil, military, and Church authorities alongside local parishioners.
