The Brazilian Camillian Province joyfully celebrates September 15th, a day that marks the arrival of the first Camillians in Brazil. This date is also observed as Camillian Day, a special occasion across all Camillian missions to honor the vocation of lay Camillians.

This year, the 102nd anniversary of the Camillians’ arrival in Brazil was celebrated with great enthusiasm. Together with thousands of men and women across the country Camillians dedicate themselves with love and care, embodying the Camillian mission: serving others, tending to their needs, and promoting the well-being of all the sick cared for by Camillian ministries in Brazil.

With the theme “Connected in the Integral Care of the Human Person and Creation,” this year’s Camillian Day also marked the conclusion of the Laudato Si’ Camillian Year. The celebration included moments of reflection on the key messages conveyed throughout the campaign, emphasizing the enduring legacy and commitment of all Camillians to holistic care for both the human person and the environment.
