All senior citizens are invited to participate in a full day of activities designed exclusively for them. It will be this Tuesday, October 11th, at the Sacred Hearts Community Center, next to the church.

Promoted by the Padre Eustáquio and Carlos Prates Health Centers, the celebration of Senior Citizens' Day begins at 9 am with the practice of Lian Gong, an ancient Chinese activity to exercise body and mind. From this moment on, the day will have a large program with health workshops (nutrition, diabetes, hearing health, blood pressure control, physical exercises and mental health). There will also be relaxation workshops.

The event will conclude with a performance by the Belo Horizonte Municipal Guard Band at 3:30 PM. All senior citizens, devotees, and residents of the area where the Sanctuary of Health and Peace is located in Belo Horizonte are invited to participate.

International Day of Older Persons is celebrated annually on the first day of October, a date established by the United Nations (UN) in 1991, with the aim of raising awareness in society about aging issues and the need to protect and care for the elderly population. Due to scheduling conflicts, the celebration of this special day will be on Tuesday the 11th, so that everyone in our community can actively participate.
