Annual clergy assembly begins in Cidreira

The Diocese of Osório clergy assembly begins Monday, 26, at the Casa Tiberíades retreat house in Cidreira. The meeting runs through Wednesday, 28, to facilitate reflection, evaluation, and pastoral planning for the diocese.

The assembly uses the biblical passage “Alarga a tua tenda” (Is 54,2) as its theme. This theme relates to the Diretrizes Gerais da Ação Evangelizadora da Igreja no Brasil (DGAE 2026-2032) published by the Conferência Nacional dos Bispos do Brasil (CNBB). Participants will discuss the mission of the Church, the importance of acolhida, escuta, and community participation.

Monday's schedule is dedicated to the Pastoral Presbiteral and the Associação dos Presbíteros da diocese de Osório (APADO). On Tuesday, 27, the program includes an official opening and reflections on the DGAE titled “Compreendendo os Caminhos da Missão.” The afternoon session will focus on evaluating and projecting activities for various sectors.
