7/8 Overnight Visit to The Assentamentos & 5 Communities

First Overnight Visit to The Assentamentos

& 5 Communities {Page 7 of 8}

Second Day: 4th Community visit to "São Jorge"

{St. George}

This community is on the cross roads that leads to all of the three assentamento areas.
At this monthly Mass three teenagers made their First Confession and they received their First Holy Communion.

After Mass we were invited to a celebration in the local shop / bar.

Igreja São Jorge

First Communicants {Looks like they could be old enough to make their Confirmation}

I had no problem getting the women to pose for a photo, but the men were long gone and in the pub waiting for the food for the party after Mass.

The First Communion Class with the two priests and their teacher {far right}

Waiting at the local bar for the food, owned by the parents of the two sisters who made their First Holy Communion. I like the table they are all sitting at. A wooden spool that was used for the telephone wire. Necessity is the mother of invention here and very little gets thrown out.
