Sr. Isabel Tonon, pddm, who has been a missionaray for 5 years in the community of Manaus in the Amazon, and who works with the liturgical and charismatic formation of the community shares her experience with us:
"From the 15th of April to the 1st of June, I was involved in a course of formation in the parishes of Pari Cachoeira in the Diocese of St. Gabriel of Cachoeira, in response to the request made by His Excellency Mons.Edson Damian. From Manaus, where our community is based, to San Gabriele, it is 60 hours by boat, but thanks be to God, I went by airplane which took two hours. From San Gabriele to the parishes, we went by boat. I went along with the Bishop who was visiting the parish so as to adminster the Sacrament of Confirmation to 209 people, young and old, from the various native communities. Coming along with us was a couple who are in the third month of their mission as volunteers in the diocese."
