Final Days in Brazil

On Friday, we traveled by bus from Uberlandia to Goiania arriving around 6:30 pm.

On Saturday we visited the cemetery where Sisters Katherine Popowich and Suzanne Wills are buried and said a prayer.




Later that day we went to a housing project, Pastoral de Moradia (Housing Pastoral), in Sister Maria Jose's community. The pictures show the laying of the foundation of a small house that they are building for a man who is now renting.

On Sunday we celebrated with Sister Maria Jose's community in the morning and with Sister Maureen's community at night.

Following the celebrations, we all went out for pizza to celebrate our last night in Brazil.



Later that evening, we took part in a tradition the Sisters in Brazil have by remembering and sharing memories of the Sisters who have died during the year.
