The Archdiocese of Barcelona has issued an appeal for additional
volunteers to help out with Pope Benedict XVI's Nov. 6 and 7 visit to
the city.
During his visit to Barcelona, the Holy Father will consecrate the
Church of the Holy Family, which was designed by architect Antonio
Gaudi, whose cause for beatification is ongoing.
Noting the importance of collaboration on the part of volunteers, the
archdiocese said, “The organization of an event such as this involves
numerous issues that must be addressed through the selfless
collaboration of many people, both in the preparation beforehand up
until the moment of conclusion.”
Javier Porro, the director of youth ministry for the archdiocese,
said anyone between the ages of 16 and 36 is welcome to volunteer.
