During 2018 and 2019, the Milicia de Santa Maria, our SCM in Spain has carried out two artistic projectstomakeChrist'smessageknownandtobringitclosertopeople.

The first of these was the musical “Contigo”. This is a musical written by members of the movement who, through the history of a family, make known the 14 works of mercy, by dedicating a song to each one of them throughout the performance. This musical was performed during 2018 and 2019, on 8 occasions, in different cities across Spain, including Madrid, Alcalá de Henares, Burgos, Cáceres, Zamora and Valladolid About 80 people from the movement, of all ages - adults, children and young people - participated in these performances.

The second project was another musical, this time entitled “Of Gods and Men”, based on the film with the same name This musical tells the story of a community of Cistercian monks, who were killed in Algeria during the last century It was performed in English by about 30 young people from the movement, in St Andrew's Church, Presteigne, Wales, during an ecumenical day on 3rd August 2018. During this day, apart from the musical, there were several meetings with different Christian denominations, in which young people could talk, share and learn more about each other’s lives and ways of living their faith.
