Spanish mayors thanks Church for ministry during coronavirus pandemic
Madrid’s mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida, of the center-right People’s Party, sent a note to each priest of the Archdiocese of Madrid, expressing gratitude for “quiet and heroic labor” and for “your support for the most vulnerable, your dedication to the sick, for whom you pray every day and to whom you bring the sacraments, ensuring their spiritual consolation and that of their family members.”
Raquel Jimeno, a member of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party and mayor of the town of Ciempozuelos, south of Madrid, expressed on social media her appreciation for the work of the Church.
“The Church is fighting on the front lines together with its workers to protect our most vulnerable neighbors during the Covid-19 crisis; they are now increasing their aid with food, clothing, and water for many of the town’s families,” she wrote.
“The Church continues to work to save lives in Ciempozuelos. For both its own and for others and therefore THANK YOU, because we do appreciate it and I am sure that the vast majority of the town of Ciempozuelos does too. What they are doing is priceless. The Church, in our town, has a great role in this fight and it is necessary to thank them in capital letters,” Jimeno wrote.
