From May 16th to 18th, 2025, the 8th Guides’ Retreat was held: “Inner Liberation,” with content taken from Father Ignacio Larrañaga’s book, “From Suffering to Peace.”
This retreat took place at the Cônego Tobias Pious Houses in Pindamonhangaba, São Paulo state, and was organized by the Pindamonhangaba Local Coordination, with support from the Brazil West 10 National Coordination, which is part of the Western Zonal Coordination.
Forty-two Guides from different Coordinations were present at this retreat, as well as the entire Western Zonal Coordination Team.
The Retreat was led by Guide Maristella Carvalho with the collaboration of the Retreat Coordinator, Adriana Cristina de Oliveira.
In the words of one Guide: “The Retreat was a moment of great learning, reflection, and great faith! May the Lord grant us humble and joyful hearts to persevere on the path!”
