Pastoral Districts of Navarre

In 2019, pastoral districts (known in Spanish as "UAP") were created in the Diocese of Pamplona-Tudela, concentrating Navarre's 700 parishes into 36 pastoral districts. The goal is essentially to work pastorally as if they formed a single parish. There should be a team of priests for the whole district and a single pastoral council formed. Parishioners from all towns should feel they are part of the same circumscription. Legally and economically, however, each parish retains its autonomy.
Ecclesiastically, our pastoral district belongs to the Diocese of Pamplona, specifically in the pastoral zone of the Mountain Area and the archpriesthood of Aralar. In terms of civil territorial organization, we are in ten municipalities of Navarre: LEITZA, ARESO, GOIZUETA, ARANO, ARAITZ, BETELU, LARRAUN, LEKUNBERRI, BASABURUA AND IMOTZ.
At the moment three priests serve in solidum in the mentioned pastoral district: Jesus Mari Sotil, Santiago Garisoain and David Galarza, and on weekends three other priests come to help celebrate Masses: Joxe Mari Aleman, Pako Beloki and Peio Etxabarri.
