Maranhão

São Luís

Sao LuisSão Luís The Province always nourished the desire to develop a specific pastoral directed toward young people. It already prepared two Jesuits for this work, also sending them for specific courses also in this area. The province always had one or other member directly involved and, sometimes, this was
exclusively one's work. Also there always had been appeals both on the part of the Jesuits and the Bishops, so that the Province insisted more on this pastoral work.

In São Luís do Maranhão the Jesuits maintain the Parish of Our
Lady of Mercies and they began by developing a pastoral outreach to the young people. It is worth highlighting also in São Luís Brother Julio's work.

He is over of ninety years old and helps at the chaplaincy of the Dutra Hospital where he visits the patients of the Parish of Our Lady of Mercies.
