Throughout the length and breadth of Spain -- Alicante, Barcelona, Bilbao, Cordoba, Guadix, Jaen, Leon, Madrid, Malaga, Oviedo, Palma de Mallorca, Santander, Seville, Valencia, Valladolid and Zaragoza, the centenary of the pontifical approval of the Teresian Association is being celebrated.

Pope Francis Message for Lent 2024, Through the Desert God Leads us to Freedom, asks us to embrace Lent as a powerful time in which the Word of God addresses us anew: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (Ex 20:2).

Members of the Association in Rome, Palermo, Rossano Calabro and Catania held events to commemorate the centenary of the pontifical approval, a milestone that will also give special meaning to our traditional activities such as our celebration of a “Pasqua” at Easter.

The TA members in Mexico celebrated 100 years of pontifical approval of the Teresian Association with Mass in the parish of Santa Maria de Guadalupe. They are preparing a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
