The FSPs of Rio de Janeiro commemorated the Institutes Centenary in beautiful St. Sebastian Cathedral, headquarters of the archdiocese. The Eucharistic Liturgy was celebrated by Cardinal Orani Joao Tempesta, Archbishop of Rio, together with many other priests.
Our sisters shared this joyful occasion with all the Rio, Madureira and Niteroi book center employees and their families, as well as a host of other collaborators, friends and acquaintances. They tell us it was a very meaningful moment of praise and gratitude to God for all that he has done in our 100-year history throughout the world, and in a special way in our 69 years of Pauline presence in Rio de Janeiro.
