The various parishes in and around Leuven form the pastoral zone ‘Leuven aan de Dijle’. On Sunday, 15 September, our confrere Juan Carlos Tinjacá sscc was officially installed by the auxiliary bishop, Mgr Koen Vanhoutte, as ‘canonically appointed priest for this pastoral zone (canon 517 § 2)’. Alongside him, two lay people were appointed as members of his team: John Steffen as pastoral coordinator and Ruben Geleyns as secretary.
That weekend, there was only one Eucharistic celebration in the whole Leuven area, to which all the other parishes were invited. It was a sign of unity and solidarity among all the parishes.
We sincerely congratulate Juan Carlos and wish him strength in his many tasks.
