Welcome to the Saint Dulce of the Poor Memorial!

​

This place, sacred in many of its spaces due to the history and legacy that Saint Dulce of the Poor left us, is above all, a provocation to all of us, human beings, who believe in the power of love!

Given the information transmitted and the emotions experienced here, we are all inspired to reflect on the story of a woman, physically fragile, but who was able to transform the difficult reality around her, through acts of love!

By contextualizing this story and welcoming each visitor, we want to echo the love, courage, determination and faith that moved the first Brazilian saint to go out and meet those most in need, promoting the culture of care so often spoken of by Pope Francis. In this way, we will preserve her memory, teachings and examples that are always alive, encouraging each of us to awaken to the opportunity we have to make a difference in the world. How? Through the flame of this Love that never goes out!

During your visit, allow yourself a unique experience, through all your senses. Just as Saint Dulce of the Poor did, you will be able to see much further; you will be able to hear much more than you will listen to; you will be able to feel beyond the touch of a hand, a hug or a scent; and you will breathe in and absorb knowledge and examples that can transform the way you live and face the world.

From this moment on, you are invited not only to enter this memorial, but also to be part of this story that speaks about humanity and encourages us to practice Dulcism – the way of thinking, being and acting of Saint Dulce! Saint Dulce of the Poor continues to be present through you, that are visiting her memorial, called to be a multiplier of her Work – of Love and Service!
