Archbishop of Florianópolis presides over mass for educators

Archbishop Wilson Tadeu Jönck presided over a Mass for educators at the Nossa Senhora do Perpétuo Socorro Parish in Guabiruba on Sunday, October 18. The celebration honored the day of the professor and brought together Catholic teachers, pedagogical coordinators, educational counselors, and school managers from public, private, and religious schools within the Archdiocese of Florianópolis.

During his homily, Archbishop Jönck said the challenge for educators is to convey God's love through teaching and actions. He noted that, inspired by Saint Teresa and Saint Francis of Assisi, educators are called to go beyond transmitting knowledge to help students recognize the presence of God and build a more just and fraternal society.
