The Bishop of Solsona, Francesc Conesa, issued a call to the diocese this February to identify lay individuals willing to actively participate in the mission and management of local parishes.

In a letter addressed to the faithful, the Diocese of Solsona has launched an initiative to find individuals with a vocation for service. The goal is to entrust new responsibilities to baptized men and women, following the diocesan evangelization plan.

"The time has come to encourage the full participation of lay people in the life and mission of our communities and parishes."

Francesc Conesa expressed concern that many Christians still live their faith passively. He emphasized that the role of the laity is to transform the world through their professional and family lives, acting as ethical leaders in the 21st century.
