“Meeting Point Gaspar Del Bufalo” is a new pastoral project launched in the Iberian Province. Precious Blood Fathers Queño Mora, Juan Pedro Ruiz and Florentino Imbali serve the local community of the Orcasitas Neighborhood in Madrid, Spain. “Meeting Point Gaspar Del Bufalo” is a space dedicated to the wholistic human development of vulnerable persons. It aims to offer spaces for personal growth to wounded men and women in need of liberation, healing and unconditional love.

This project has a transforming vision of the world inspired by the Christian humanism of St. Gaspar del Búfalo and the spirituality of the Precious Blood. It is based on the belief that a process of listening and accompaniment can promote wholistic wellness in those who are wounded and vulnerable.

There are three areas in this project. The first is an emotional support program and psychological counseling for people in crisis (loneliness, illness, crisis of meaning, personal or family conflicts, etc.). Secondly, through the work of psychologists, we offer a psychological assistance program for those in need of clinical or health intervention. Thirdly, there is a training program, led by specialists in their fields, that is focused on different aspects of the person (relational, social, self-esteem, spiritual, physical health, etc.).

As a new program, it is our hope that the meaning and scope of the program will continue to expand.
