From November 26 to 30, in the premises of the parish of St. Louis des Français, the Social Action Board The CARF Foundation will hold a charity market to raise funds to help priests.

– Supernatural CARF Foundation encourages and promotes priestly vocations, supporting the formation of seminarians, priests or religious, in Rome or Pamplona: "We work to bring God's smile to every corner of the world through priests and helping in their formation".

Associated with this foundation and for the same purpose, the Patronato de Acción Social coordinates volunteers to sew and embroider the albs or liturgical linens that are given, together with the cases of sacred vessels, to each seminarian who completes his formation and returns to his diocese to be ordained.

The first action of the Patronato is to pray for priestly vocations. "Praying and helping priests motivates many people. In addition, they also pray for us, so, in reality, we win," says its president, Carmen Ortega.

In addition to this work, the flea market is an essential part of the Patronage. To help vocations, various volunteers are mobilized to make knitted clothing, collect donated furniture and decorative items, and organize the necessary arrangements to make all the donations available to the public.

In this edition, the 28th biannual flea market will be held from November 26 to 30 from 11 am to 9 pm at the premises of the parish of San Luis de los franceses at 9 Padilla Street, Madrid.
