SSJs in Brazil Welcome New Associate

On March 17, SSJs in Goiânia, Brazil welcomed a new Associate. Arinete Fonseca made her commitment during a Mass with the Jesus of Nazareth community which is the parish community in Goiânia, where our Sisters have been ministering since 1988. Seventeen other Associates renewed their commitment—something that takes place every two years around St. Joseph’s Day. To prepare for the ceremony, Sisters and Associates gathered a few days ahead to reflect on the life of St. Joseph, sharing quotes and passages written by Pope Francis and Leonardo Boff.
