Beginning in February 1935 Eustaquio and his confreres were working in parishes near the great industrial city of Saô Paulo. He was parish priest of the little town of Poà. The fathers had a lot to do with the spiritism, which was on the rise. Therefore Eustaquio began to help the sick, as the spiritists also did, with blessed water, at first with water from Lourdes and then with water that he himself blessed.
A number of miraculous events occurred and thus the name of Eustaquio became well known. By his blessing and prayer he cured sick people. He became a real hero, `The Thaumaturge of Poà', the miracle worker of Poà, and each day a great many people wished to meet him for a moment. The enormous influx of people to Poà could not last long. In May 1941 Eustaquio was sent away on holiday. He hid himself for some time on a farmhouse in the interior. From October that year he resided at our college in Patrocinio.
