DOM HELDER CAMARA and his relationship with the Vincentian Family – part 2

Helder Pessoa Camara was born in Fortaleza – Ceará – Brazil, on February 7th 1909. He was the son of Adelaide Rodrigues Pessoa and João Eduardo Torres Camara Filho. She was a primary school teacher, he an accountant. It was up to Mrs Adelaide, a practising Catholic, to initiate her children in the love of God and of their brothers and sisters, and in devotion to the Blessed Virgin, which she did with mastery. She was also their first teacher. Helder liked to say that he was born in a school. Mr. João Eduardo, as a Freemason, lived away from Catholicism. Helder made his first Holy Communion on 29 September 1917.

Creativity, a Vincentian Challenge
One evening in the early 1970s, Michael Pachovas and a few friends wheeled themselves to a curb in Berkeley, Calif., poured cement into the form of a crude ramp, and rolled off into the night.
