Parish of La Paca to hold triduo in honor of Blessed Fulgencio Martínez

The Virgen de las Huertas Parish in La Paca is holding a triduum to mark the 90th anniversary of the death of Blessed Fulgencio Martínez. The priest, a Franciscan tertiary who served at the temple, died a martyr.

The parish priest, Carlos Fabián Cabezas Pincheira, noted that the commemorations began with a novena following a proposal from local parishioners. The triduum includes exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the Rosary, and the Eucharist.

On October 4, the anniversary of his martyrdom, the parish will hold Mass at 11:00 a.m. followed by a screening of the short film El Maximiliano Kolbe español by José María Zabala, which tells the story of the blessed. Martínez, a native of Molina de Segura, was beatified in 2013.
