Táchira is an area in Venezuela where, in the main, religious, simple and hard-working people live. On 26 June 2023, a memorable event took place in Loma del Tejar, the headquarters of the sixty year-old Catholic University of Táchira: it was the Jesuit Superior General’s Canonical Visitation to the university. The last such visitation occurred 25 years ago.

In December 2024, the Province of Colombia will celebrate its 100th anniversary. In preparation, and to make this event an opportunity for a spiritual journey, a program has been drawn up which began on 24 June 2023, the feast of St John the Baptist.
