Placed in the heart of Madrid, this church opens its doors day and night.
An island of mercy.
A shelter house.
In the words of Pope Francis: ‘a little field hospital’.
An oasis of silence and prayer.
A solidarity house to share.
The church where animals are blessed.
A temple with great artistic value: the relics of St. Antón and St. Valentín, patron of the lovers, a copy of Francisco de Goya’s painting “La última comunión de San José de Calasanz” (The Last Communion of St. Joseph of Calasanz), an organ from 1824 or one of the oldest clocks in Madrid.
Those discarded from the system.
Those who seek and do not find.
Those who are far away from God and the Church for whatever reason.
Those who seek silence and prayer.
Those wounded for life.
Those who feel lonely.
Those who wish to share time, money and love.
Those who seek comfort at any time of the day or night.
Those who want to ride on the illusionary wave of Pope Francis’ springtime.
Those who dream of a better world.
San Antón is not only a religious and worship center, but a field hospital, and a cultural and social place where everyone is welcomed and listened to.
