A group of 13 people from the Netherlands are expected to arrive in Brazil tomorrow, August 25th, to participate in the celebration of the 80th anniversary of devotion to Blessed Father Eustáquio. They are family members, including two nephews of the priest, as well as devotees of the Blessed who live in his homeland.

The Dutch group will arrive at Guarulhos Airport in São Paulo and from there travel to Uberlândia, in the Triângulo Mineiro region. They will be accompanied by another Dutchman, Mr. Hans, who has lived in Brazil for several decades. From Uberlândia, they will go to Romaria-MG (where Father Eustáquio worked for 10 years) and Patrocínio-MG (a place that was also a field of work for Father Eustáquio).

According to Will van den Boomen, Father Eustáquio's nephew, they will be in Belo Horizonte on Sunday to attend the Feast at the Sanctuary. They will participate in the celebrations of the last days of the novena and will remain at the Church throughout the day on the 30th.

After the party, the group will head to Poá-SP, where they will also learn another part of the Blessed One's story. From there they will go to Holambra, also in São Paulo, to visit the city that shares the same characteristics as their hometown.
