The traditional social week will have a new edition in Mar del Plata (Argentina) next August, and will focus on “social friendship as a dream and path: Francisco’s legacy.”
Organized by the Episcopal Social Pastoral Commission and the Bishopric of Mar del Plata, this meeting brings together ecclesial, political, union, and various sectors of society every year to think of meeting paths and joint responses to current problems.

On this occasion, a few months of the death of Pope Francis, the social week will also be the occasion to honor the Argentine Pontiff, especially recalling the social friendship, which was very present in his teaching, and deepened in the encyclical Fratelli Tutti.
Their teachings, the organizers say, “continue to illuminate the walk of our nation and the dream of our country.”
The appointment is August 8, 9 and 10 at the Intersur Hotel, located on Av. July 9, 277, of the Balnearia City, and is open to all those interested in participating in said space for dialogue and shared reflection, having as a starting point the fraternity, justice and citizen commitment.
To do this, it is structured on five axes taken from Pope Francis’s social thought: “Politics and construction of social friendship”; “Read reality from peripheries”; “Educational Pact for the Care of the Common House”; “Economy and work”; “Technology and Integral Human Development”.
