Fueron años, dos décadas, en los que al fin, siendo alcalde Vicente Arqués, el deseo de miles de creyentes de la zona, veraneantes y residentes vieron cumplido su sueño, una iglesia católica en el Albir.
Esta iglesia está situada en la calle Joaquín Turina nº 6 en El Albir y se dieron eco de su nacimiento varios periódicos de la zona. Esta parcela ha sido cedida por el ayuntamiento para los próximos 99 años siendo costeada por los propios feligreses.
En su altar cuenta con reliquias de dos Padres de la Iglesia, dos mártires del siglo II d.C., San Justino de Lyon y San Ireneo, y con las del cartujano San Rafael Arnáiz del siglo XX

El sacerdote que con su esfuerzo y dedicación atiende a los feligreses tanto en la parroquia de San José, en la L´Alfas como en esta iglesia es D. Miguel Ángel Schiller Villalta.

A CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE ALBIR!
“IGLESIA DEL ESPÍRITU SANTO”
We
now have a Catholic Church in the Albir (C/Turina, nº6) dedicated to the Holy
Spirit.
WHY
AND FOR WHICH REASON DO WE NEED A TEMPLE?
Because we have grown. Because each day there
are more and more people that believe and wait for the Lord Jesus Christ; and
we need a Temple, a place to be able to express and live this belief; where we
can approach the Lord throughout the day and celebrate the Holy Mass. So that the Word of Life can call out among us.
You are enjoying a few days of rest
or may well have your residence established in this beautiful place and you
can´t go without spiritual and sacramental assistance. It is a Right for
Christians.
It is a Temple set to the surroundings
(now reevaluated) and of humble dimensions, overwhelming due to it´s light and
simplicity.
We have already celebrated with joy
the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony and have received a good number of children who
have celebrated their First Communions.
As you can imagine, we have to face
the loan that we obtained for it´s construction. For this reason, we have
edited these pages you have in your hands for “Collaborating Members”. On this
page you can find the bank account numbers for your punctual or regular
donations. Between all of us we can repay the monthly 3,000
€ loan fee.
We say that “the Church belongs to all of us”
but it´s always the same people that have to make a move... it is time for all
of us to make a commitment because, later on, all of us use and require this
Church. Don´t let anyone beat you in generosity. You don´t get to see a Temple
being built every day and this is a reason to be proud, when we can tell and
certify to future generations that this was done with you collaboration.
Those directly responsable, like your Parish
Priest who is now writing this message, will be delighted to give you more
information. Beforehand, I would like to thank you for your collaboration.
