Santiago, Chile, Jul 14, 2005 / 22:00 pm
As part of the activities surrounding the canonization of Chilean Father Alberto Hurtado, fourteen dioceses in Chile will take part in the “Social Weeks” in August in order to help address the different social problems facing the country.
The dioceses of Copiapó, La Serena, San Felipe, Melipilla, Rancagua, Talca, Chillán, Los Ángeles, Concepción, Temuco, Valdivia, Villarrica, Puerto Montt and Aysén will all participate in the program, which will feature panel discussions and forums on equality, social justice and solidarity among Chileans in light of the social teachings of the Church.
The canonization of Father Hurtado, and especially the work of Caritas Chile and other organizations, has made it possible for eleven new dioceses to join in the traditional celebration of the “Social Weeks.”
