Photos and Video - Pilgrimage to Bonfim

Here are some photos and video from our pilgrimage to Bonfim on Epiphany, Jan. 8th 2012.  For recordings of some of the songs we sang look here.

Mass for Peace - January 1st

On the first of January, we had a Mass with the Bishop of Salvador for Peace.  Several children from Alto da Esperança made their first communion.  This came at a very important moment as the police raids have been increasing in frequency and violence recently.  We ask you to pray with us for an end to the violence, the drugs trafficing that provokes this violence, and the corruption that causes this vicious cycle to continue.
