“We want to be a helping factor so that there are no infections,” stressed Hernández de la Torre

The festivities are suppressed, but no one is forbidden to express their faith, they are only oriented, Hernández de la Torre
clarified.

People who have faith in Saint Jude and other saints are still the same, there is even a greater awakening now with the
pandemic, he said.
