Hermán Marcel Lunar has been the new parish priest of the church of the Inmaculada in Mijas Pueblo since Thursday 12th, after the retirement of Francisco Villasclaras. Originally from Venezuela, this parish priest comes from Pizarra, where he has been in charge of the San Pedro Apóstol church. On Thursday, a large number of parishioners from this municipality joined him at his inauguration in Mijas. Hermán Marcel did his seminary studies in Málaga, where he has been working for 21 years in different parishes such as Pizarra, Gibralgalia and Azalea. Coincidentally, he was ordained priest in 2010 in front of the Virgen de la Peña together with three other new priests. "To tell when you felt God's calling, that's a love story that you don't know when it began or when it ends, all you know is what you feel. In my village we had some missionary sisters who helped us a lot in our faith and awakened that connection with God and the church", Lunar said.

Born on a small island in the Caribbean, the island of Coche, he studied in Kumaná, where he met Manuel Fernández Martínez, a priest in Málaga who has been his spiritual guide. Hermán Marcel Lunar is clear about his work in Mijas. "The church is not dead, the church is alive and it will adapt to the situations and the times, although of course we cannot renounce the traditional things of our life and the traditions of the people, I am very respectful of the traditions of the people", Lunar affirmed.
