Almonte, Spain - October 2024 - A youth pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Virgin of Rocío, located in the province of Huelva in southern Spain, took place on Saturday 26 October. The event, now in its twentieth year and organised by the Youth Delegation of the Matriz Confraternity, brought together over 3,500 young people from eighty confraternities and was attended by an exceptional pilgrim, Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime. Among the highlights shared by the Rector Major Emeritus of the Salesian Congregation, who led the young people from Almonte to the foot of the Virgin of Rocío, were the recitation of the Angelus in the area known as the Pastorcito and the Eucharist that concluded the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary, which he presided over and was concelebrated by the Bishop of Huelva, Bishop Santiago Gómez Sierra. As a memento of his participation, Cardinal Fernández Artime then signed the Book of Honour of the Matriz Confraternity.
