On February 23rd, the inauguration of the academic year took place at the Saints Francisco and Jacinta Marto School. Starting early in the morning, buses began arriving with our students who were warmly welcomed by their teachers. The morning began with a simple communal breakfast that made for a joyful reunion and celebrated the start of a new academic year. At 9:30 a.m., we celebrated Holy Mass—the most important hour of the day for our community, as we believe that everything we undertake must first be placed in the hands of God.

During the Eucharist, the teachers renewed their commitment to education and the holistic formation of their students, embracing with responsibility and vocational dedication the mission entrusted to them. At the conclusion of the service, a group photo was taken to serve as a memento of this special day. We express our deepest gratitude to all the benefactors whose unwavering support makes it possible for our school to continue its work in service of the youth most in need—offering not only education but also guidance, mentorship, and hope.
