Spain: Opus Dei Priest Died in Accident
A 56-year-old resident of the town of Alfarràs and Father Beunza, a priest at the Arabell School in Lérida, aged 58, were the two drivers killed in a head-on collision on Sunday night on the N-230 road through Alfarràs.
Three vehicles were involved in the accident, which occurred at 21:32 on Sunday. The priest was returning to Lérida after a retreat in the Aran Valley.
Beunza joined Opus Dei at a very young age. At the age of 24 went to Rome and spent a few years studying and working in various capacities at the headquarters of Opus Dei.
He was ordained a priest in the Sanctuary of Torreciudad on 1 September 2002. Among other things, he was in Lérida from 2004 to 2005, but he went to Venezuela for about 5 years.
Later, in 2012, he returned to Lérida, where he lived until now in the Raier Youth Club, linked to Opus Dei.
The Bishop of the diocese of Lérida, Mgr Salvador Giménez, presided at the funeral in the cathedral on Tuesday.
