The Diocese of Quilmes has concluded its Third Diocesan Synod, resulting in the approval of eight pastoral guidelines intended to direct church activities in the Berazategui, Varela, and Quilmes regions for the next five years. These initiatives, presided over by Bishop Carlos José Tissera and auxiliary bishop Eduardo Redondo, focus on increasing lay participation, establishing a Ministry of Solidarity, and creating a Vicariate for Women to enhance female involvement in decision-making.

In conjunction with these structural updates, the diocese has announced a series of commemorative events for its 50th anniversary throughout September. The jubilee will include a diocesan pilgrimage to Luján and a week of celebrations across five deaneries, featuring commemorative masses to honor each decade of the diocese’s history. The formal presentation of the synodal documents is scheduled for September 19 during the diocese’s 50th-anniversary mass.
