On Saturday, February 16th the Mother of God left the cathedral in Alcalá de Benares and went to the convent of St. Clara Sisters, which was the main headquarters of the Icon during the visit in this diocese.

The town of Alcalá de Henares is a unique place. One of the oldest in Spain. It is in itself a gem of culture and was placed on the List of the World Heritage of UNESCO. It used to be the place of the Spanish parliament (Cortes) sessions and the residence of Castillian kings.

Dear Friends!

The Ash Wednesday on February 13th had a special meaning for the Madrid Polish community. It was proceeded by an all-night vigil in the intention of the protection of life before the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa, which is peregrinating “From Ocean to Ocean” across the world in the defence of the civilisation of life. It was attended by many volunteers of the World Youth Day in Madrid, who have good memories of Polish pilgrims.
On Sunday afternoon, February 10th at 2.30 PM the Czestochowa Icon visited the convent of Primer Monasterio de la Visitacion, i.e. the visitation sisters popularly known as the salesian sisters, because St. Francis de Sales was their founder. This church houses the tomb of the visitation sisters, the blessed martyrs, who were murdered during the Spanish civil war. They were beatified by the Holy Father John Paul II.
