Since the end of April, the state of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil has been the subject of an incredible sequence of floods that have sowed death and destruction among the population.
Our brethren are taking in hundreds of displaced people in their parishes to whom they provide assistance, meals and basic necessities. They distribute hope to those who have lost everything, to the many people who no longer have a home to return to or a job to survive.
Br. Massimo Fusarelli, OFM Minister General, launched an appeal for solidarity to support the friars’ efforts in Brazil.
Fundraising concluded
thank you to all donors!
