On Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, at 8:00 a.m., the solemn Easter Resurrection began in the parish of Our Lady of Fatima in the Pechincha district of Rio de Janeiro with the participation of the Częstochowa Icon traveling "From Ocran to Ocean."

Placed next to the figure of Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado Mountain, towering over Rio de Janeiro, the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa, pilgrimaging through the world with the intention of defending the civilization of life and love, was venerated by the Spiritual Adoption Movement overnight from Friday to Saturday (April 11/12, 2025).

The Spiritual Adoption Movement in Brazil has definitely gone beyond the framework of private prayer for an unborn child threatened with extinction. They define themselves as Pilgrims of Hope and defenders of life. The founder and spiritual guardian of this dynamic movement is a Polish missionary - auxiliary bishop of Rio de Janeiro Zdzisław Stanisław Błaszczyk, called by the locals Don Tiago Stanisław.

During this visit of the icon to our Seminary, we celebrated the Eucharist and carried out the consecration of the work of protecting the civilization of life and love in the hands of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The celebration was presided over by the Spiritual Director, Fr. Juan Salvador, and concelebrated by the Vice-Rector, Fr. Rafael Enrique.

As part of the worldwide pilgrimage “From Ocean to Ocean”, the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa arrived on 3 April at the Archdiocesan Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Rio de Janeiro.
