The carnival retreats Reborn and Rebirth (in Portuguese, “Renascer” and “Reviver”, respectively) has begun this morning in over 80 cities in Brazil. The event, organized by Shalom Catholic Community, promises “A Whole New Life” to its participants, in three days of praise and worship, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, talks, courses and celebration of the Holy Mass.
To provide a personal experience with God’s love is the main goal of the event. The sacraments of confession and the Eucharist stands out as opportunities for this divine encounter. In many cities, the retreat began last night. In others, this morning there have been Mass presided by bishops. This is the case of Arapiraca (Al), where Don Valerio Breda, bishop of Penedo, presided the Eucharist.
