Josefina García, rector of the Catholic University;

Monsignor Bruno-Marie Duffé, secretary of the Dicastery for the Integral Human Development Service;

Monsignor Francisco Pérez González, archbishop of Pamplona and Tudela and president of the Episcopal Commission of Missions and Cooperation among Churches of the EEC;

and the Bishop of the Diocese of Cartagena, Monsignor José Manuel Lorca Planes, among other authorities.

The exhibition, which will be open to the public until next Sunday, March 3, has the participation of more than 80 voluntary associations that will present to Murcia society their work in favor of the most needy.

José Luis Mendoza, president of the UCAM, said that "Murcia are generous, so I invite everyone to collaborate and be interested in the show."

For her part, Miriam Pérez, general director of Family and Social Policies, added that "volunteers are people who deliver what has the most value: their time".

The Bishop of the Diocese of Cartagena, Monsignor Lorca Planes, stressed that "it is an opportunity to thank this meeting of big hearts and to tell us that in Murcia there is life."

Also in the framework of the conference, the Archbishop of Pamplona and Tudela, Monsignor Francisco Pérez, gave a lecture in which he declared that "the human being is the image of God and, therefore, we have to correspond to that image".

In addition, he added that "sometimes it is thought, from the relativist philosophy or from certain ideologies, that man is in himself and worth by himself, and it is not true, depends on someone who has created you and who has loved you because God is love. "

On Thursday, an ecumenical meeting will be held in the Parish of San Francisco de Asís in Murcia, at 8:30 pm, which will have representatives of the Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican and Evangelical churches.
