120 volunteers unite to build Our Lady of Graces Chapel in Pontal do Paraná
120 volunteers gathered in Pontal do Paraná from September 5 to 8 to build the Our Lady of Graces Chapel. Organized by the Regnum Christi apostolate through Projeto Superação, the mission brought together students, adults, and families from various parts of Brazil to work on the construction project.
Many participants arrived without prior construction experience and learned tasks such as painting, sanding, installing ceilings, and assembling structures. Experienced volunteers taught those who were new to the work as tasks were divided based on the needs of the site.
The schedule included prayer, formation, and Holy Mass alongside the construction work. Local residents also participated by monitoring the progress and assisting with the project.
