Schoenstatt religious groups hold pilgrimage and announce youth congress in Brazil
The Schoenstatt Pilgrim Mother Campaign in Atibaia, São Paulo, has announced the 2026 Youth and Children's Congress. Scheduled for October 10, 2026, at the Santuário Tabor da Permanente Presença do Pai, the event aims to strengthen the mission among new generations through formation and community activities. The program includes the 'Ginfanto' scavenger hunt, and registration for the event must be completed by September 30, 2026.
In a separate religious observance, approximately 20 members of the Schoenstatt Male Youth (Jumas) from São Bernardo do Campo completed an annual 30 km pilgrimage on September 7. The group walked from the Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Fátima Parish to the Santuário Tabor da Confiança Vitoriosa no Pai in Vila Mariana, São Paulo. The journey included reflections on faith and the examples of Schoenstatt figures, such as Venerable Deacon João Luiz Pozzobon.
