The Community of São José has got POWER!

The Community of São José is about an hours drive from Juruena. The power I am talking about is two-fold. The Power of The Holy spirit was alive and well. We had a full house and they sang their hearts out at Mass, I thought they would never stop in fact. The other power is the newly arrived electricity and since they now have lights they have requested to have Mass in the evening instead of 8 am in the morning. My problem is with the hyjackings and the state of the roads it is dangerous to drive at night!



Igreja São José


The Altar in São José - even an Ambo {Pulpit}

The Parish Hall / Youth Club / Festa Hall / Community Centre

All aboard for a lift home. In fact I had to stop here to inspect the bridge as men were building a new one beside it. When a bridge is worn out, don't repair it, just build another one beside it.


Some of the local homes, when electricity arrives so does the TV and Satellite.
