“Your family has a place in the parish Discover it!” That’s the invitation that greets you at Parroquia Reina de los Ángeles. This welcoming message reflects the spirit of this special church. Parroquia Reina de los Ángeles is more than just a building. It is a community hub with a rich history.
Let’s step back in time to 1967. This was when the Hogar Don Orione opened. It was a center for children with severe intellectual disabilities. This showed an early commitment to helping the most vulnerable. The parish officially formed in 1977 with Father José Perón as its first priest. He was a member of the Orionist religious order.
Parroquia Reina de los Ángeles is located in the Colonia de los Ángeles. It is near the Casa de Campo. The parish is part of the municipality of Pozuelo de Alarcón. The church actively works with locals and associations. They promote human well-being following the example of Don Orione. Don Orione is a role model for the Orionist congregation.
In 1996 the Asociación Infantil y Juvenil “El Patio” began. It offers values-based education to children and teens. They focus on creative free time and respect for nature. The neighborhood grew. So there was a need to address religious needs. A new larger parish was built in 2011. You can find it on Avenida de los Ángeles number 3 near RTVE.
The new Parroquia Reina de los Ángeles provides many services. These include religious education and activities by “El Patio”. There are faith groups for adults and youth. Also there is a Cáritas group. Cultural activities like music dance and parish meals are offered.
The parish wants to be known for its hospitality and family spirit. This aligns with the Orionist values. Parroquia Reina de los Ángeles invites everyone to participate. They want to create a strong connection with the parish. This church is dedicated to serving its community. It focuses on faith education support and a welcoming atmosphere. Remember their invitation. You too have a place here at Parroquia Reina de los Ángeles.
