The legacy of Joaquima de Vedruna
The commemoration is not only a reminder of the figure of Joaquima, but also a celebration of his vision and his commitment to the needy people. On February 26, 1826, in Vic, he started a revolutionary project to host those who wanted to follow a spiritual path.

Through testimonies of members of the European province, he will show how his work has transcended borders, reaching 24 countries with multiple educational and social initiatives.
A commitment to society
The Vedruna family not only focuses on education and health, but also actively involves human rights defense, collaborating with various religious entities and traditions to meet contemporary challenges.
A visual and emotional act
Through a visual spectacle, the event aims to illuminate how Joaquima’s vision has evolved over the years, addressing new challenges without losing the essence of its original message. Although he has only left his letters, Joaquima’s charisma is palpable in the mission shared by all members of his spiritual family.
