On March 1 and 2, 2025, a group of 50 young people from the parish participated in an enriching camp in the community of Areia dos Pedros. According to the evaluation of the participants, the two days were full of reflection, sharing, joy, animation, participation, union, friendship, prayer, responsibility and learning. All agree that it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience, marked by a deep sense of happiness, strength and commitment, renewing positive energies to continue their journey of faith. <\/p>\n\n

The young people expressed their gratitude to the communities that welcomed them during the camp, highlighting that, through the activities carried out, they acquired new knowledge, strengthened their faith and made valuable friendships.
