Pueblo Andino school construction advances as Lourdes mosaics face permanent covering

In Pueblo Andino, Argentina, construction of a new secondary school is progressing toward a projected completion date of March 1, 2027. Local authorities, including Public Works Minister Lisandro Enrico, recently inspected the site, noting that the building is currently roofed with flooring and window frames installed. The project aims to provide the community with its own dedicated educational facility after a 36-year wait, following a period where the project had been stalled at the national level.

In Lourdes, France, Bishop Jean-Marc Micas has announced that the mosaics created by artist Marko Rupnik on the facade of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary will remain covered following the visit of Pope Leo XIV. The decision to hide the works is permanent rather than temporary. Rupnik, a former Jesuit, faces ongoing canonical investigations following allegations of sexual, spiritual, and psychological abuse made by several women.
