Opus Dei

Mónica was born in Cochabamba, in a family that represented "the rainbow of Bolivia," since her father was from La Paz and her mother from Santa Cruz. She studied at the German School and later in Buenos Aires, where she graduated with a degree in Agricultural Engineering from UBA. Subsequently, she studied philosophy and earned a master’s degree in teaching it. She has been involved in development projects and teaching, and tells us that her specialty is "change."

A powerful story of the sanctity of life, motherhood, the vocation in Opus Dei and God’s providence. After six decades, Monica, a supernumerary in Singapore, uncovers a transformative truth about her family... and it all came through her vocation in Opus Dei.

You are cordially invited, along with your family and friends, to attend Holy Mass in honour of St Josemaria Escriva, Founder of Opus Dei.

In his 21 May general audience, Pope Leo XIV continued the catechetical cycle on Jesus Christ, our hope, begun by Pope Francis for the Jubilee of 2025. He spoke about the parable of the sower.

This is Iago’s story: a child born without eyes and with a severe hearing impairment, who passed away three years ago. But it is also his parents’ story: Javier and Elia fought for his life and happiness from the very beginning, facing countless challenges with inexplicable joy. Their son changed their lives.
