RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CHAPEL OF THE SEMINAR Belchite, a failed attempt
Juan Gasca Salo in his book "Belchite SEMINAR" the attempts made members of our Union ( Alumni Seminar) to restore the chapel of Our Lady of the Forsaken Belchite.
On 8 May 1970 made an urgent call for the reopening of the chapel worship seminar, because she had been educated priests and lay people for over two hundred years, and after the war was in ruins
previously March 15 of that year, the Alumni Board for the reconstruction of that chapel, met in the playground, with assistance from authorities, a representative of the Archbishop and the Cabildo, religious, priests and laymen who had studied there, and many faithful of Belchite with your pastor. But all was an attempt, since only closed with a wall opening that existed at the site of the chapel of the Virgin. Certainly, the lack of money prevented the realization of this desire.
occasion of the publication and presentation of my book "CONGREGATION AND SECULAR CLERGY SEMINAR MISSIONS BLESSED VIRGIN OF HOMELESS Belchite "is said to treat the same subject also in the book.
After the year 1980, wrote to the then Archbishop of Zaragoza Don Elias Yanes exposing the desirability of the restoration of that chapel. Still rang the echoes of the conflict between the archbishop and the city of Belchite raised by the ownership of the shrine of Nuestra Señora del Pueyo. After some time, I received a call from Domingo J. Buesa Conde, Cultural Heritage, communicating to Don Elijah had delivered my letter to study the feasibility of my request. This time we talked at length, but I did not to have more news on this issue.
"OFFERING"
When you walk on, venerable ruins,
The heart feels distressed.
We would stop what has happened, arising
the rose without thorns
of that Holy House.
you can guess ... senses ... it feels
pierced one of a something ... to something sacred, which is here
... And that we peregrina.
one day return multiples,
and with the same old cobbled
reharemos your chapel to honor.
And our children will come to let the pure flower
prayers, our Mother
