On the afternoon of Thursday, April 10th, the vice-postulator of the Cause of Canonization of Blessed Father Eustáquio, Fr. Vinícius Maciel, SS.CC; the religious studies scholar, Leandro Castro; and professors Roberlei Panasiewcz and Carlos Frederico Souza, met at the PUC Minas rectorate in Belo Horizonte. During the meeting, the group discussed the program for the International Symposium on Health and Peace, whose main theme will be the mission of Father Eustáquio, commemorating the centenary of the Blessed's arrival in Brazil.

The rector expressed great appreciation for the event, offering the University's resources and his personal support for the celebration of the memory of this religious figure of the Sacred Hearts who evangelized through the witness of his life, which continues to this day.

The Symposium, which will be held from September 1st to 4th, also has the support of the archbishop of the capital of Minas Gerais, Dom Walmor Oliveira de Azevedo. The event is being organized in partnership with the Cause for Canonization, the postgraduate program in Religious Studies, Theology and the Health area of PUC Minas, as well as the Sanctuary of Health and Peace and the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts.

Some details are still being discussed, and the full schedule should be released soon.
