The 32nd Provincial Meeting of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts began on January 22nd. The meeting is being held in Bertioga-SP and brings together 39 brothers from Brazil and Paraguay. The starting point for this year's meeting was the film "Francisco, Man of His Word," which is serving as inspiration for the work of these days.

On the first day of the meeting, there was a Mass presided over by Fr. Hilário França, ss.cc., who is celebrating 50 years of priesthood. The following day, it was Fr. Elcio Mota, ss.cc's turn to celebrate 25 years of religious consecrated life in the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts. Currently, the priest belongs to the São Miguel Parish in Catuji-MG.

Among the tasks and meetings that the journey provides, in addition to moments of reflection and celebration, the brothers also unite in new commitments. On Saturday the 25th, there was the Temporary Profession of novice Vanildo Lima Sena. He professed his first vows in the Chapel of Vila Anchieta on Boraceia Beach, in Bertioga – São Paulo. Vanildo is 27 years old and participated in the Interprovincial Novitiate of Latin America in Peru. The significant celebration, in the presence of brothers from Brazil and Paraguay, included the presence of family members of the new process.
