Our participation in the 2nd "JORNADA DO BISPO"

The community took part in the 2nd "JORNADA DO BISPO", which was scheduled for 21st e 22nd of April, 2018. The venue, as usual, was in the premises of the Liceu diocesano "Joao XXIII" (a distinguished high school belonging to the Diocese). The program included, in the first day: a march, two matches of football (sisters and priests playing against the members of the organizing commission), a show of songs and poetry performed by the children of the kindergartens, whereas the second day was consecrated to the eucharistic celebration.
Here, we could play our part. We were mentioned at the beginning of the mass, because we were celebrating the 11th anniversary of foundation of our community, and then we were able to offer to our beloved bishop food and drinks, and a magnificent he-goat.
During the two-day celebration, many people appeared on the spot to show love, affection and solidarity to our bishops, who responded by spending all the time with the people and even playing footbal (during the first part of the match).

We are very lucky to have such friendly and simpathetic bishops, who really love the people.
