This gesture symbolizes the military personnel's gratitude for the intercession and protection received during their deployments abroad. The action highlights the deep connection between the Brigade and the brotherhood, whose headquarters are located in the church of Nuestra Señora de la Merced.

The brotherhood celebrated a fraternity mass and thanksgiving mass last Sunday, April 19, coinciding with the return of the military contingents. This union, formalized in November 2025 with the Brigade's appointment as an honorary sister, also extends to social work, offering support to military families while their loved ones are on missions abroad.
