On July 6, 2024, the Saint Camillus Seminary in Fortaleza, Brazil was the stage for a grand and transformative event: D-Day. Inspired by Saint Camillus and with our hearts in our hands, a comprehensive program and a spirit of solidarity involved more of 60 volunteers in a chain of good that brought different types of services and free assistance to the local community.

D-Day was attended by a dedicated group of professionals and volunteers who came together to offer the best to the population. Among the collaborators were doctors providing essential medical consultations and guidance, nurses offering care and guidance, psychologists providing psychological support and advice, nutritionists providing guidance on healthy eating and well-being, lawyers providing free legal advice, barbers offering barbering services and haircuts, physiotherapist assisting with physical rehabilitation and several general volunteers providing logistical and operational support for the smooth running of activities.

Lasting five hours, the action reached more than 200 people, directly benefiting the population of the Saint Camillus Seminary region, located in Fortaleza, Brazil. Each consultation, guidance and service offered was a step towards improving the quality of life of all who, with great joy and gratitude, participated in D-Day. The actions carried out promoted health, well-being and support in several areas, showing that, with unity and dedication, it is possible to make a difference.

The success of D-Day reinforces the importance and value of Camillian spirituality, which, like Saint Camillus, with all his love and affection, provided quality care to everyone who needed it so much.
