Father Júnio Vasconcelos, episcopal vicar of the Nossa Senhora da Esperança Region, Archdiocese of Belo Horizonte, presided over the Eucharistic Celebration on the second day of the Novena to Blessed Father Eustáquio. The Holy Mass was broadcast live on the Padre Eustáquio Channel on YouTube.
Around 6 PM, devotees were already gathering at the Sanctuary for the recitation of the Holy Rosary, praying for the Canonization of Blessed Father Eustace. Then, at the Eucharistic celebration at 7 PM, Father Júnio presided over the ceremony, which included the special participation of members of the Men's Rosary, Women's Rosary, and Divine Mercy Rosary groups—groups that meet weekly at the Sanctuary of Health and Peace.
During this second day of the Novena, Father Junio reflected on the virtue of Hope, showing how Father Eustace allowed himself to be guided by the hands of the Heavenly Father with boundless trust.
After the Holy Mass, the festivities continued at Espaço Molokai and the Community Center, where the Ministers of Holy Communion served pastries and savory snacks.
