Regional Sul-1 prepares for 47th Ecclesial Assembly

Regional South-1 of the CNBB will hold its 47th Regional Ecclesial Assembly from September 25 to 27 at the Itaici Monastery in Indaiatuba, Brazil. The assembly brings together bishops, priests, religious men and women, and leaders to discuss evangelization in the current context.

The meeting focuses on the theme of communicating human dignity. Participants will reflect on the DGAE 2026-2032 and the final document of the Synod. Father Luis Fernando da Silva, executive secretary of Regional South-1, said the assembly aims to apply these frameworks to the mission of the Church while incorporating the contribution of Pope Leo XIV's encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas.

The three-day program includes group work, celebrations, and discussions. The assembly also addresses human dignity during a period marked by an electoral process.
