Pilgrimage from Rio de Janeiro visits the Church and Memorial of Blessed Father Eustáquio in Belo Horizonte.

A group of 58 people from Itaboraí, Rio de Janeiro, visited the Sanctuary of Health and Peace, Church of Blessed Father Eustáquio. The idea to visit the place was driven by recommendations from friends who had already visited the Sanctuary.

Simone and Gilmar visited the Memorial for the first time.

“The Sanctuary and Father Eustáquio are very well-known in our community, and that's why the idea of organizing religious tourism here at the church arose. In addition, we will take the opportunity to get to know the capital of Minas Gerais better.”, "said Simone Gouveia Rodrigues, one of the visitors.".

The group was warmly welcomed by the vice-postulator of the Cause of Canonization of Blessed Father Eustace, Father Vinicius Maciel. The visitors had the opportunity to explore not only the Sanctuary, but also the Father Eustace Memorial. For many, this was a chance to deepen their knowledge of the life and teachings of the Blessed.

Gilmar Alfradique also spoke about the experience: “"It is a great blessing to be here. I could see in everyone's eyes how moved they were to receive the grace of being closer to Father Eustáquio."”

The visit not only strengthened the faith of the participants, but also provided a moment of profound spiritual connection. For many, it was an opportunity to renew their devotion to the Blessed One and explore new aspects of Christian spirituality.
