Vicaría de la Solidaridad 50th anniversary commemorations

Overview

The Catholic Church in Chile is holding various commemorations to mark the 50th anniversary of the Vicaría de la Solidaridad, an organization established by Cardinal Raúl Silva Henríquez to address human rights violations.

In Talca, the Diocese prepared an event at the Talca Cathedral featuring the documentary ‘Sin desviar la mirada: la historia de la Vicaría de la Solidaridad y su compromiso con la dignidad humana’ and discussions on the organization’s legacy.

In the Magallanes region, the Church held events during its annual Social Week. These commemorations included a public discussion with former human rights pastoral leaders, sociologists, and political prisoners, as well as a performance of the Human Rights Cantata. Bishop Óscar Blanco emphasized that defending human rights is a “concrete expression of the Gospel” intended to serve the marginalized.
