Pilgrimage of Our Lady of the Conqueror in Bagé/RS

On September 28th, the 51st Pilgrimage of Our Lady of Conquest took place in Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul. It was a powerful demonstration of faith, bringing together more than 5,000 faithful. The theme was "With Mary, sing and live in hope," rekindling the experience of the Jubilee Year.

We had a beautiful program throughout Sunday, celebrating the patron saint of the city and the Diocese of Bagé. In the morning, there was a pilgrimage and Mass, and in the afternoon, a vocational rosary, followed by the Eucharistic Celebration.

The diocesan bishop, Dom Cleonir Dalbosco OFMcap, and several religious men and women were present at this pilgrimage. They spent time at the "Vocational Tent" to talk with people and young people, handing out materials to help with vocational discernment.

We, the Little Pastoral Sisters, who live in Santana do Livramento, Rio Grande do Sul, went to Bagé to participate in the pilgrimage and the Vocational Tent. This way, we took the opportunity to spread our Charisma through our presence and contact with the pilgrims participating in this event. We were delighted to see the interaction with other religious and the interest of people in visiting this space dedicated to vocations.

We praise and thank God for this moment, with the hope that the seed sown in generosity will one day surely germinate.
