The mayor of Caracas, Carmen Meléndez, reported that on Friday she held a working meeting with the Central Commission responsible for coordinating events related to the upcoming canonization of Dr. José Gregorio Hernández and Mother Carmen Rendiles.

During the meeting, the logistical preparations, the planned activities and the spaces designated for the religious events to be held in the capital were reviewed.

“We are preparing to celebrate the canonization of Doctor José Gregorio Hernández and Mother Carmen Rendiles,” he said.
