Blessing of the Finalists on Mother's Day, a symbol of path, gratitude and hopeCardinal D. Américo Aguiar presided over the Mass of the Blessing of the Finalists, bringing together students from Egas Moniz, Nova FCT and Piaget at Parque da Paz, in Almada, in a moment full of meaning and tradition.More than a simple celebration, this ceremony represents a true rite of passage, the culmination of years of effort, growth and overcoming, marking the transition to a new stage of life. Between symbolic gestures and inspiring words, the finalists were invited to look to the future with hope and confidence.Celebrated on Mother's Day, this occasion gained an even deeper symbolism, recalling the fundamental role of mothers and families in the journey of each student, a discreet but essential presence, made up of support, dedication and love along the way.In his message, the bishop highlighted the importance of each one following their own path with purpose, remembering that, even in the face of challenges, it is essential not to lose sight of what gives meaning and happiness to life. An invitation to take with you not only a diploma, but also values and inspiration for the future.A word of special thanks to Father Afonso, who accompanies our community weekly, for his care, dedication and constant presence along this path.hashtag#DiocesedeSetúbal hashtag#BençãodosFinalistas hashtag#PastoralUniversitária hashtag#SemeadoresdeEsperança hashtag#CardealDAméricoAguiar 📷 Ricardo Perna | Diocese of Setúbal📷 Luís Filipe Catarino | CMA📷 Tiago Leitão & Carolina Santos | Egas Moniz
