Mgr. José Ignacio Munilla at Alegra

At Alegra we’ve had the pleasure to welcome at our school Mgr. Mons. José Ignacio Munilla. He has delivered a wonderful Family Workshop session: “Marriage Checklist: recipes to overcoming bad habits”.

The frame for the Family Workshop was the idea that this year 2021 is the year of the Family and especially the year of Saint Joseph. This way Mgr. José Ignacio Munilla highlighted the importance of spousal love and how not only love sustains the marriage, but how marriage sustains the love between the spouses.
