Today, May 23, 2022, we want to communicate the sad news of the death of our colleague Alicia Bárcenas, director of the school of vocational training Archbishop Morcillo of Caritas (ECAM).
Alicia has always been an example of struggle, camaraderie and work for the most vulnerable and socially excluded.
Our dear companion, was director of the ECAM since 2007, where he has given his life, for those young people discarded by the educational system, for those who cannot find their place in the classroom and who have found their place in school.
Alicia, in the fifteen years that she has worked at the center, together with the teaching team, has turned ECAM into a place of hope, self-improvement and great opportunities for the thousands of young people who have passed through her classrooms. The Arzobispo Morcillo school has become a benchmark for management and integration in the Community of Madrid, thanks in large part to its inexhaustible dedication.
For this reason, the center has declared mourning today, as a sign of mourning, suspending classes.
In addition, Alicia collaborated with our diocesan Cáritas leading the quality area. Thanks to her, Cáritas Diocesana de Getafe has recently obtained the ISO90002015 quality certification.
An important title, which our dear colleague led for two years, and which recognizes the management system of our entity. It is a fundamental certification to be able to obtain aid from other public and private organizations for our Caritas programs, through which thousands of vulnerable and socially excluded people pass each year.
From here, we want to recognize his immense work, he has been an example for everyone, and we ask for a prayer for his soul and for the comfort of his family and friends. We are sure that many students will feel orphaned today, because Alicia was, for many, something more than a director.
For Enrique Carrero, director of Cáritas Diocesana de Getafe «Although it was expected and feared news, sadness weighs down our hearts. Alicia was a person loved by all of us, for her being and for her doing, she leaves a deep mark on our feelings. Caritas Diocesana de Getafe professes deep gratitude for everything she has given us with her dedication and effective work for the institution. »
We know that Alicia will continue to care for us and intercede for everyone from the Father’s house.
Soon we will inform about the Eucharist that we will celebrate for his soul.
