This past Sunday, the Diocese of Segovia concluded a congress on the messages of Pope Benedict XVI during the World Meeting of Families in Valencia in 2006.

The event, which was attended by nearly 350 people, including families and clergy members, focused on the identity of the family and its commitment within the Church, politics, trade unions, civil associations and Catholic family movements.

Likewise, one of the conference speakers, Manuel de los Reyes, underscored that the event “reminds us that the WMF 2006 should have a before and an after in the renewal of family ministry.”

During the congress participants also reflected on the different challenges facing family ministry in Spain in the coming years.
