21-11-25

The patron saint of Calasparra, the Virgin of Hope, departed from the Cathedral of Murcia accompanied by numerous faithful and devotees who gathered around the image, which arrived at the Cathedral at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, 15 November, marking a particularly significant day for the region’s religious community.

At 1:00 p.m., the Solemn Jubilee Mass was celebrated, presided over by the Bishop of Cartagena, José Manuel Lorca Planes, a ceremony that brought together worshippers and institutional representatives in an atmosphere of joy and deep emotion.

During the afternoon, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., attendees were able to visit the Virgin of Hope and the other floats participating in the procession.

Within the framework of this historic day, the Mayor of Calasparra, Teresa García, received a commemorative plaque from the Mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, in recognition of the patron’s stay in the regional capital and her involvement in this unprecedented event. The presentation took place at 4:30 p.m., during a brief official reception offered to the mayors of the participating municipalities.

The Jubilee Magna Procession began at 5:00 p.m. from the Cathedral of Murcia and, as scheduled, the Virgin of Hope was due to begin processing through the streets of Murcia at 7:30 p.m., in a parade expected to conclude around 11:30 p.m.

The Mayor of Calasparra, Teresa García, together with councillors Juan José López and María Eulalia García, as well as the President of the Board of Trustees of the Sanctuary Foundation of the Virgin of Hope, Fulgen Sánchez, and the Chief of the Local Police, Miguel Ángel Martínez, are closely following the route of our patron saint, accompanying and escorting her on this historic day for our municipality and for the entire region.

Likewise, the Mayor of Calasparra, the Chief of the Local Police and the President of the Board of Trustees walked in procession behind the image of the Virgin of Hope during her journey through the streets of Murcia, demonstrating the institutional support and the profound devotion of the municipality to its patron saint.
