On Saturday, June 17, the Santa Candida Exhibition Space<\/strong> opened its doors in the emblematic Palacio Montellano, Salamanca<\/strong>. This initiative, framed in the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Congregation<\/a>, seeks to update the charism and bring the present generations closer to the figure of St. Candida<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Space began its journey in 1971<\/a> and in 2019, during a canonical visit to the Colegio Mayor Montellano, the Provincial Superior received a request from the Management Team and the community to renew it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this request, this new space was conceived as a place of reflection and observation<\/strong>, where visitors can immerse themselves in the inner world of Mother Candida and understand how her charism crystallized<\/strong> over time. Through immersive experiences that combine light and sound, the circumstances and motivations that inspired her work are revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project has taken shape thanks to the joint work of a dedicated and committed team. Its members include Rub\u00e9n del Castillo and Daniel S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, two professors with an extensive academic background and a shared passion for geography, history, and art. Their dedication and commitment have been instrumental<\/strong> in turning the vision of the Santa Candida Exhibition Space into a tangible reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of intense work, this space is now a reality and aspires to become a cultural enclave within the offer of the city of Salamanca<\/strong>. The inauguration ceremony, which was attended by the Superior General, Graciela Francovig<\/em>, the General Government, the Government of Spain and Italy,<\/strong> and members of the Mother Candida Family, was followed by an exclusive tour of the different floors of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graciela’s words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond a journey into the past, 111 years after the departure of M. Candida, I would like for us, who are going to walk the corridors, staircases… through which she walked, that these spaces lead our inner look to the present and to what we wish to work with hope<\/strong>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
