Fire in Rio diocese is crisis for poor Our companion diocese of Rio de Janeiro has written asking for help following a fire Aug. 14 in tge Rio das Pedras shantytown. The fire left 800 homes gutted and 3,000 people homeless, said Bishop Celso Franco de Oliveira, pictured here in the rubble. Fortunately no one was killed. "At this time we are appealing for food and clothing as well as financial contributions for this purpose," he said. "Services are being performed daily and prayers offered in our Church of St. Peter, which is located in the midst of this community." We will be providing more information about ways to help. Please keep these people in your prayers.

Brazil From Episcopal Relief and Development

Unlike the famine of India and parts of Africa, Brazil’s famine is not related to food shortage. Brazil is a major food producer and exporter. A fourth of the population suffers from hunger because the poor cannot afford to buy the food that is stocked on supermarket shelves. In fact, rural hunger in Brazil is decreasing while urban hunger is increasing. Fifty percent of Brazil’s hunger is located in small to medium size cities and another 30 percent is located in northeastern Brazil, a region known for devastating drought. As the poor migrate from rural areas to urban areas, many relocate to smaller cities that are not as economically vibrant as Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo. These smaller cities lack the jobs to support the poor. (more )

Pilgrims headed for Brazilian diocese

Fifteen of these young people, photographed with Bishop Alexander recently on their Confirmation Day, are going on a nine-day South American pilgrimage. By Rob Burlington As part of the Journey to Adulthood (J2A) program, teenagers are invited to make a holy pilgrimage, a culmination of four years of formation and fellowship. Fifteen 11th graders from the All Saints� J2A class will travel July 21 to Brazil as guests of Bishop Celso Franco de Oliveira of the Diocese of Rio de Janeiro. The group is embarking upon what they are calling a �spiritual, cultural and relational� pilgrimage. They seek to build relationships with Brazilian teenagers and adults and during the nine-day visit will be joined by seven youth and three priests from the Rio diocese. Some of the activities planned for the entire group are a visit to the Anglican and Catholic cathedrals in Rio, a tour of an orphanage outside the city, a walk to the famous Corcovado Christ statue, sharing in the many cultural opportunities Rio has to offer and worshipping together throughout the week. In preparation for building these relationships, the All Saints� youth have mailed ahead personal bios with photos as a way to introduce themselves. The group is excited for this journey and look forward to planting the seeds of friendship and love between our two dioceses.
