The Marbella City Council, through the Citizen Participation department, supports the celebration of the May Cross organized by the Divina Pastora church, which will take place this Sunday, May 3, from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The parish priest, David Morales, presented the initiative today and stated that "it is a great joy to continue energizing the neighborhood with proposals that allow us to share values and celebrate such significant dates together," while emphasizing that the day will also serve to pay tribute to mothers coinciding with Mother's Day.

Morales explained that "it will combine recreational character with community and solidarity spirit, with a program that includes musical performances, a children's gymkhana, and free inflatable castles for the little ones." He also noted that "we want it to be a big party for families, an opportunity to live together and also to support the projects we develop, especially with the most needy people."

On her part, María Guzmán de la Rosa, attendant of the Virgin, has called for citizen collaboration to contribute to the temple's expenses, highlighting that "every help adds up to be able to maintain and improve the parish and meet the needs we have, especially regarding the image and its care." In the same vein, treasurer and catechist Isabel Maeso emphasized the importance of neighborhood participation and indicated that "we have a wide scope of action and limited resources, so any contribution is crucial to continue with our social and pastoral work." The organizers have specified that tickets for food, tapas, and drinks can be purchased in advance starting tomorrow at the parish, with the goal of facilitating attendance and avoiding crowds on the day of the event.
