Forania Nossa Senhora da Piedade plans actions for 2027

The Nossa Senhora da Piedade Forania held an ordinary meeting on October 17 to discuss pastoral actions and preparations for 2027. The meeting included 27 participants, consisting of priests, deacons, and lay representatives from local parishes.

Vicar Forane Father Leonardo Moisés led the discussion, which addressed challenges such as a lack of commitment to pastoral activities and general discouragement regarding Church initiatives. Despite these concerns, participants noted that churches remain full and attendance at celebrations is strong.

The group discussed several upcoming priorities, including training for marriage witnesses and baptism ministers. Father Moisés is also planning the confession schedule leading up to Easter. Additionally, members discussed the 2027 Corpus Christi festival. Maria Amália, representing the Municipal Secretary of Culture, attended the meeting to coordinate with the group, as the festival is recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of the municipality.
