Dom Gilson Meurer participates in the fourth video of the series “Vida em Primeiro Lugar”

Bishop Gilson Meurer addressed the issue of housing in the fourth video of the "Vida em Primeiro Lugar" series. The Diocese of Lages released the video to encourage reflection on social realities and the rights of vulnerable people.

The video series is an effort by the social ministries of the Diocese of Lages to support the Grito dos Excluídos e das Excluídas movement, which highlights groups facing inequality and exclusion. In this installment, Bishop Meurer discussed housing, which is the theme of this year's Campanha da Fraternidade.

The bishop stated that housing is a sacred good and a right intended by God for everyone. He noted that a secure home serves as the foundation for human dignity and that without one, families become more vulnerable when trying to access health, education, food, and work.
