Kolbe in Brazil celebrated an Extraordinary Chapter where it accepted a mission in the Prelature of Tef\u00e9. The pastoral ministry there was carried out on two fronts, namely, at the Parish Church of Nossa Senhora de F\u00e1tima in Juru\u00e1 and the Parish Church of Santo Ant\u00f4nio de P\u00e1dua in Tef\u00e9. Both parishes are the starting point for doing missionary work by boat in order to serve the river peoples who live deeper in the Amazon region.<br \/>\nIn addition to caring for the parishes, the friars\u2019 mission includes serving hundreds of families in more rural areas. It is, in fact, a very challenging reality given the current religious, cultural and social framework of our day.<br \/>\nThe confreres serving in Juru\u00e1 are Friars Francisco FERREIRA SILVA and Ant\u00f4nio Maria DOS SANTOS J\u00daNIOR. The confreres serving in Tef\u00e9 are Friars Givaldo BATISTA DA SILVA, Carlos ALVES DE OLIVEIRA and Paulo ARANTES RODRIGUES.
