Inaugurated in 2007, the Father Eustáquio Memorial is a place of prayer, reflection, and veneration of the Blessed Father. The mortal remains of the Dutch priest are located there.
Those who visit the Memorial get a glimpse into the Blessed One's missionary life in the light of the Beatitudes, through the stained-glass windows designed by the visual artist Maria Inês Asinelli, from Curitiba/PR.
In the center, where the Sacred Relics of Father Eustace are kept, a large rough stone symbolizes human life, which, when polished, can achieve holiness. Above, a seven-sided pyramid represents the Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord. At the apex is the image of the Blessed, which is the symbol of this holiness.
On the ceiling, the Holy Trinity was represented with the hands of God, the Cross of Christ, and the dove of the Holy Spirit. To complete the splendor of the place, in the garden, there is a beautiful bronze image of the Blessed, donated by the priest's Dutch nephews.
If you haven't yet visited the memorial, come and see it. During the pandemic, the Sanctuary is open every day from 7:30 am to 12 pm and from 1 pm to 5 pm.
