Lluís Bonet, former rector of the Sagrada Familia, passed away on Friday at the age of 91. Bonet, originally from Barcelona, served as rector of the iconic temple for twenty-five years, from 1993 until 2018. According to ABC, his body has been donated to science.

A ceremony in his memory will take place in September with diocesan and parish significance, though the exact date has yet to be determined. This ceremony will be held at the temple designed by Antoni Gaudí, where Bonet played a significant role.
