Parents from La Farga make pilgrimage

Parents from La Farga school in Sant Cugat del Vallès, near Barcelona, visited the Torreciudad sanctuary in Spain’s Huesca province on May 24, 2026, for a romería, or pilgrimage, according to the shrine’s website. Torreciudad said the group was received at its tourism office, joined a guided tour, prayed the rosary and attended mass at the sanctuary’s main altar. The shrine also said the visitors watched “El retablo te cuenta,” a video-mapping presentation shown on site. ### What exactly did Torreciudad say happened on the visit? Torreciudad said on a post dated May 24, 2026 that “this group of parents” from La Farga had come to the sanctuary that day on pilgrimage. The sanctuary’s account said the program began with a welcome at the Oficina de Turismo, or tourism office, before moving to a guided visit through the complex. (torreciudad.org) The same post said the parents prayed the rosary, attended a mass celebrated at the altar mayor — the main altar of the church — and then saw the video-mapping presentation. A separate event listing on the sanctuary’s calendar scheduled “Padres del colegio La Farga” for Sunday, May 24, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. (torreciudad.org) ### Where is La Farga, and why is that detail in the notice? La Farga was identified by Torreciudad as being in Sant Cugat del Vallès, a municipality in the Barcelona area. The sanctuary used that location in both the event listing and the published account of the visit, matching the way it labels many school, parish and association pilgrimages on its site. (torreciudad.org) Sant Cugat del Vallès has appeared repeatedly in Torreciudad’s recent notices about La Farga groups. In separate posts published in April and May, the shrine reported visits by La Farga students, sometimes accompanied by parents and teachers, for masses, rosaries and guided activities at the sanctuary. (torreciudad.org) ### Was this a one-off visit or part of a longer pattern? Torreciudad’s archive shows La Farga groups have appeared at the sanctuary over several years. A post dated October 19, 2019 said students and parents from the school had taken part in a weekend gathering nearby before visiting the shrine, praying the rosary and attending the Eucharist at the main altar. (torreciudad.org) Recent entries suggest the connection has continued in 2026. Torreciudad reported student visits from La Farga in mid-April and early May, and a separate training session at the school led by Carlos Figuero, identified by the sanctuary as Torreciudad’s promotion manager, was posted on May 24. (torreciudad.org) ### What is a romería in this context? Torreciudad used the Spanish term “romería” in its description of the May 24 visit. In Catholic practice in Spain, the word commonly refers to a pilgrimage or devotional trip to a shrine, often organized by parishes, schools, families or local associations; in this case, the sanctuary’s own description centered on prayer, a tour and attendance at mass. (torreciudad.org) The sanctuary’s events page shows that the La Farga parents’ visit was listed alongside other group pilgrimages and organized visits in late May, including parish groups from Badalona and Barcelona and other associations scheduled in the days that followed. ### What comes next at Torreciudad? Torreciudad’s calendar showed additional events immediately after the La Farga visit, including a pilgrimage by Barcelona’s Santa Inés parish on May 25, 2026, and other group visits later that week. (torreciudad.org) The same page listed the 13th edition of “TWOgether Torreciudad,” a course for married couples, for May 29 to May 31. (torreciudad.org)
