Ordinations of deacons in Belo Horizonte, Brazil (Brs)

On Saturday, February 17, the province of Brazil experienced the joy of having two new deacons: Edmar Aparecido de Oliveira sscc and João Lucas Barbosa Alves sscc.

The Eucharistic was celebrated  at the parish "Sacred Hearts", Sanctuary of Health and Peace, of Belo Horizonte and was presided by the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Belo Horizonte, Msgr. Joaquim Giovani Mol Guimarães. The bishop in his homily insisted on the importance of the new deacons being religious deacons sscc, which is what the Church expects from them, serving out of the SSCC charisma, following the model of Blessed Eustaquio.

The celebration was attended by many brothers and sisters of the Congregation, men and women religious of other congregations, friends of the parishes of Catuji, Patrocínio and Rio de Janeiro, as well as the relatives of Edmar and João Lucas. There was also good participation of the people of the parish "Sacred Hearts", the parish of Father Eustaquio.

João Lucas will go to his new community and mission in Catuji and Edmar will form part of the Initial Formation team as socius in the postulancy and will work with the pastoral team in the Sanctuary of Health and Peace of Belo Horizonte.
