In April 1925, Father Eust\u00e1quio, Father Gil, and Father Matias departed from Amsterdam, Netherlands, aboard the ship Flandria without a specific destination. They knew they were going to South America, probably Argentina, according to the Romaria-MG registry book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Father Gil recounted their visit to Brazil to the Tribunal for the Cause of Beatification and Canonization of Father Eust\u00e1quio in September 1962. The following is an excerpt from the text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know the reasons that led our superiors to send us here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In May 1925, the missionaries arrived in Rio de Janeiro, and in the same month, it was decided that the Sacred Hearts Fathers from the Dutch Province would take charge of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Abbey in \u00c1gua Suja, in the Tri\u00e2ngulo Mineiro region, where they arrived two months after landing in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Em abril de 1925, Padre Eust\u00e1quio, Padre Gil e Padre Matias partiram de Amsterdam, na Holanda, dentro do navio Flandria sem destino espec\u00edfico.
