Since June 1992 he has been president of the Gaudí Asociación Pro Beatificación de Antoni Gaudí, a civil association that works for the beatification of Gaudí and to promote his spiritual and artistic facets. The Asociación worked actively on the canonical process for his beautification which started in April 2000 and came to a solemn close in May 2003. On 9 July 2003 the process for declaring Gaudí a saint officially got under way. For over 19 years, José Manuel Almuzara has taken part in numerous acts, both alone and accompanied by other members of the Asociación, and published pamphlets, leaflets, reports and books on Antoni Gaudí as a servant of the Lord in his artistic, human and spiritual facets. These publications were produced in collaboration with the Real Cátedra de Gaudí, the Diocesan Archive in Barcelona Claret publishing house.
