The meeting opened with the opening prayer, led by Fr William de Lima, who recalled Don Bosco's Dream at 9 years of age; and was followed by Fr Marco Biaggi's reflection, focused on the theme "At the School of Mary, Eucharistic Woman".

At the end of the other contributions, Father Alexandre Luis de Oliveira celebrated the Eucharistic and finally imparted the blessing of Mary Help of Christians to those present and thanked the Lord for this group with such a special charism, alive and active in the Province.
