Perpetual Help Shrine to hold Mass for students on October 31

The Perpetual Help Shrine in Curitiba will hold Masses on Saturday, October 31, for students preparing for the Enem and university entrance exams. The celebrations are scheduled for 15h and 19h30 at Alto da Glória.

During the services, priests will bless the pens that students intend to use during their exams. Each student will also receive a special gift that will be blessed during the Mass. Redemptorist missionary Father Joaquim Parron said the shrine intends to welcome students and ask for the intercession of Our Lady of Perpetual Help to help them face the exams with serenity.

The celebrations are open to students, their families, and the community. The shrine is located at Praça Portugal, s/n, Alto da Glória.
