Justice on the rails

7 April, 2016 by Alberto de la Portilla

Periodically we come to report on the fight against the impacts of mining and socio-environmental conflicts in Maranhão (Brazil).

Today we invite you to watch this documentary that was just made in collaboration with Signis Brasil and where they tell about this reality. How the community is held together fighting for their rights and how the Church is serving as support in this journey. As you know, we are also present as Comboni Family. In the reportage you can listen among others to Fr Massimo and Fr. Dário (MCCJ) and Xoancar (CLM).

We also left bound the article published in the magazine “Família Cristã” where you may read about it.

CLM Missionary sending in Nova Contagem, Minas Gerais, Ipê Amarelo.

10 March, 2016 by Alberto de la Portilla

…And God said, “Do not come near; take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” And so it is in the life story of Priscilla Garcia, certainly God saw shepherding the flock in Ipê Amarelo and saw it was time to go further, the bush was not consumed, as the heart of a missionary, always burns and never consumed!

Priscilla, as in Exodus 13 reading said: Yes I will go to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you… So this day February 28, 2016; with the blessing of God, the father provincial Alcides and missionary Childhood, Priscila Garcia assumes in front of the community of Our Lady of Aparecida its commitment for at least 2 years in African lands. Mozambique is waiting for her, where she will find a new culture in which God is now also waiting. Here in Brazil we will be praying for the mission in Africa.
