The sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Saint Michael Archangel are a cornerstone of traditional Catholic life in the city of Bom Jesus and around the diocese of Campos. Founded in 1976, they dedicate themselves to caring for the elderly and to the formation of children. Besides the José Lima Care Center for the Elderly, they also run several schools providing pre-school, elementary and middle-school Catholic education for over a thousand students, including those from low-income families. They also reach more than ten thousand young people via catechism offered in parishes and rural chapels around the region.

The sisters are thrifty and creative. The convent, like the seminary, often receives donations of goods (from sacks of rice and beans to tree saplings to plant in the garden). But although they do not complain of their own privation, they are chronically short of funds, too, especially for higher value grocery items and for health care expenses.
We would like to send a regular monthly donation to make sure they have good quality, nutritious foods, necessary cleaning supplies, pharmacy items and help with health care costs as needed. (February’s supplement has been sent already thanks to the generous donations Friends of Campos received over the holidays).
Please join us in supporting this thriving religious community whose members are such an integral (and cheerful!) part of the traditional Catholic life of the diocese.
