ECUMENICAL PROGRESS ON THE ORIHUELA COSTA
Press Release / 2010-03-09 10:15:46
Last September, on a dreadfully wet day just like this last week, the Bishop, D. Rafael Palmero, of Orihuela-Alicante Diocesis, visited the Orihuela Costa for the blessing of the foundation stone of the new Ecumenical Temple and Parish church. Despite the weather the construction company, JOST, had erected a canopy and prepared some of the ground.
JOST began on the site, Calle Talco in Villapiedra, this January and in February had set up the first “working certification”. Most of the excavations work for the basis, foundations, of the new ecumenical temple are almost complete and it is expected that by July this year the structure will be finished.
JOST is the company which built the new church in Torrevieja “El Sagrado Corazon” near to the Virgen del Carmen theatre.
The second and final stage of the construction is expected in 2011, and we hope to have it completed in 2012.
In this ecumenical temple all Christian confessions will be able to hold their services and meetings.
The organisers of the association –Grupo de Amigos de la Parroquia de Cristo Resucitado” - are extending an invitation to everybody to join them. Membership is five euros a month. 2,50 € for the EuroMillions Lottery and 2,50 € is given to the church ecumenical temple fund.
To join you need to fill in a form. The forms are available in the three chapels of the parish (La Zenia, Cabo Roig or Campoamor) and any Sundays after the 11 h. Mass in La Zenia Chapel. Contact Luis (Spanish) and Antonia (English) for details concerning the Group. People can also ask for information by e-mail: in Spanish amigosparroquiacristoresucitado@hotmail.com and in English theresa.channell@ukonline.co.uk.
Further updates on this ecumenical construction will follow each month from now on to keep the people living here on the Orihuela Costa informed of the progress of their temple.
