Teams from Nossa Senhora da Madeira celebrate their 60th anniversary on April 7th.

To mark the date, a vast program was prepared, which accompanies this publication, and includes an opening session chaired by the Bishop of Funchal, several conferences, a musical moment with Vânia Fernandes, a closing session and the Eucharist, chaired by the Bishop of Funchal.

The Madeira Congress Center will be the stage for all these activities that culminate with a dinner at the Jasmineiro Seminary.
