What is Horneros?
Horneros is one of the “Pastoral de Profundización” movements, which seeks, together with the entire academic and pastoral proposal, “to train men and women for others.”
From a countercultural approach to voluntary service, this movement seeks to bring adolescents closer to different realities, raise their awareness of them and encourage them to do solidarity work.
We will try to delve deeper into the growth of students as people and in their process of Faith, from a different scope than the curricular one, but supporting and relying on it within the framework of Ignatian spirituality.
The advisory team, the Coordinators of the Baquianos and the Baquianos (Ignatian volunteers) are responsible for carrying out the Movement. All of them must be witnesses and guides in the process of the students. They will work as a team with the other members of the pastoral and educational community, delving deeper into the mission to which they have been called: “to spread the love of God.”
It is through the participation of the children in the activities of the Movement (services, Cottolengos, campaigns) that they “nest hope”; transmitting sacrifice and dedication to the needy, they give a home to the hope that another world is possible.
