As part of its 30 anniversary commemorations the Diocese of Recife - Brazil started three new congregations this month: New Jerusalem Mission, in Santa Luzia town and Mangabeira Mission, in João Pessoa City, both in the State of Paraiba were inaugurated by Bishop Robinson Cavalcanti in last weekend. In that occasion the Bishop performed Confirmations in the Co-Cathedral of the Resurrection and in St. Stephens’ Mission in a rural area, among peasant of the Federal Program of Land Reform. Next 13th we will have the consecration of the new building and confirmation of the new Hope Mission, Jaboatão dos Guararapes city, State of Pernambuco.
