The space to be set aside for food assistance and to meet those who need it most is located in the facilities of the Nuestra Señora de la Merced Temple and comes to replace the plazas and tours that the groups take every day of the year.

He stressed that “participation generates brotherhood.”
The Archbishop of Mendoza took the opportunity to thank the Mersidari Congregation for the space provided and emphasized the strength of the joint action of all Pastoral de la Calle groups.
