Between February and April 2025, Sisters Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Meira (Ded\u00e9) and Fatima Borges travel on behalf of the General Team to a part of the Province of Europe. <\/p>\n\n

Below we share the fourth chronicle of their trip, between March 18 and April 3, 2025, during which they visited the communities of Villaviciosa, Bilbao (Deusto), Gernika and Bermeo, Vitoria, Pamplona, San Sebastian and Zaragoza. During the visit to the communities of Villaviciosa and the Basque Country, they were accompanied by Sister Teo Corral. <\/p>\n\n

Villaviciosa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Here we find a community of three sisters, who are a living presence among the people and especially in the educational community of Colegio San Rafael. They were teachers there, and in fact, some of the current teachers were their students. <\/p>\n\n

We visited the San Rafael School<\/strong>, where we met its cook, Encarna, as well as Estela, the school’s director. She told us that they have 287 students, and that given the low birth rate in the region, there are many Latin American and Ukrainian migrants. <\/p>\n\n

We enjoyed visiting the Romanesque church of the village Amandi<\/strong>, where the parish priest Don Carlos Capell\u00e1n showed us, in a detailed and very passionate way, the beauty of this Romanesque temple, from the first third of the 13th century, which is considered one of the most remarkable samples of Asturian Romanesque. We were also impressed by the church of La Oliva,<\/strong> which shows the transition from Romanesque to Gothic style. <\/p>\n
