The historic Catedral de Málaga is preparing to host a special liturgical event. Individuals who have completed their preparation classes (catechism) have the opportunity to receive the sacrament of Confirmation directly from the Bishop.
This significant religious milestone is scheduled for Friday, May 19, starting at 19:00. The ceremony represents an important moment for local community members wishing to seal their faith in one of the city's most monumental architectural landmarks.
