Relatives of Father Eustáquio visit Poá, in Greater São Paulo.

A group of 12 relatives of Blessed Father Eustáquio, who were in Belo Horizonte for the Blessed's feast day, traveled to Poá/SP the day after the celebrations. They visited the city where Father Eustáquio also lived during his missionary work in Brazil.

The group that came from the Netherlands visited some of the city's tourist attractions, such as the Primavera Fountain, the Bible Square, and the exhibition about the Blessed. In addition, the group went to the Reino da Garotada (Kingdom of Children), founded by Father Simon, ss.cc, in the presence of Father Paulo Dekker, ss.cc, the last Dutch priest of the Sacred Hearts in Brazil.

The tour ended at the Main Church, where visitors were able to visit the Father Eustáquio Museum and learn a bit about the Blessed Father's history during his time in Poá/SP.
