Regina Ecclesiae

Queen of the Church

The community dedicated to Mary Regina Ecclesiae was born at the request of Bishop of Ruy Barbosa, Mons. André de Witte, on January 28, 2012 to collaborate in the pastoral care of the Parish of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in the city of Boa Vista do Tupim.

We find ourselves in an interior area of the State of Bahia, an agricultural and grazing area, without trade and which for some time has been suffering from a great drought. In this local Church, because of the lack of priests we are called to accompany the people of God especially through a service of formation of pastoral animators, both in the city center and in the rural area, where we try to reach even the most isolated communities. In this reality we take care of the formation of the basic communities, of catechists and of community animators.

It is a great joy for us to always be committed to evangelization, to see the growth of the Christian life of our people who are simple and eager to nourish their faith. We are supported on our journey especially by Eucharistic adoration, lectio divina, meetings in families, where we grow together and give each other a testimony of the beauty of belonging and working for the Kingdom of God.
