MENSAJEROS DE LA PAZ
– 10 years in San Antón –
Padre Ángel
Founder and president
We look back on this past year with gratitude. We have celebrated 30 years of tireless work through the Golden Telephone; 10 years since we arrived at San Antón as an open house, a welcoming refuge where no one asks who you are before offering warmth, listening, and dignity.
From this perspective, the Padre Ángel Social Foundation was also born, joining the Mensajeros de la Paz group, and with it a firm commitment to fight one of the greatest forms of poverty of our time: unwanted loneliness. Because no one should feel invisible, no one should go through life without a hand to hold them.
Today, more than ever, we raise our voices with humility but with determination to call for something that is both just and urgent: an end to all armed conflicts in the world. We cannot grow accustomed to others’ pain. We cannot accept as normal the suffering of so many families, of so many children.
Let us continue to be Messengers of Peace, through small acts.

General Director
2025 was a year of consolidation and growth for Mensajeros de la Paz: we celebrated the 10th anniversary of San Antón, supporting more beneficiaries and expanding our assistance until they can regain their social and professional autonomy.
We also resumed our work in Iraq, responded to the floods in Argentina and Cape Verde, continued supporting families affected by the DANA in Valencia, and provided aid during the humanitarian crisis caused by the conflict in Gaza, working alongside Mensajeros de la Paz Jordan. We have now made an impact in 80 countries.
None of this would be possible without the commitment, dedication, and trust of all the individuals and organizations who help make our work possible.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
