Our Cabrini Connections in Brazil
-
-
The Cabrini Sisters
Connection: to learn about the work of the
Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart in
Sao Paulo,
in order to forge stronger ties with the
worldwide network of our sister communities.
We visited Cabrini schools
in
Sao Paulo and Cabrini outreach to the poor
there. The Missionary Sisters work in
education, build Christian communities, and
serve the poor throughout Brazil.
-
The Catholic Relief Services
Connection: to learn about the work
of
Catholic Relief Services in
Northeastern Brazil,
in order to strengthen the partnership
between Cabrini College and CRS. CRS is
working to eradicate slave labor through the
regional program Trails to Liberty (Trilhas
da Liberdade). We studied the
issue of forced
labor in
the provinces
of Maranhao and
Tocantins.
Who we are
- Five Cabrini College faculty and staff were selected to visit our international partners in Brazil. Two exceptional people planned our trip and guided us throughout Brazil. To Sr. Terezinha and Joseph Kelly: Muito obrigado!

Rescuing Slaves
The work of rescuing slaves is very dangerous. Listen to human rights workers describe their work and threats they receive.
