October was a month of celebration, sharing, and learning with our beloved seniors. Every activity, every encounter, and every smile reaffirmed what we have always believed: aging is continuing to grow—in wisdom, affection, and purpose. 🌿 At the Laudato Si Social Center, we learn every day from those who carry the experience of a lifetime. These are stories that inspire, gestures that teach, and looks that remind us of the value of time, patience, and hope. We end this month

Deize de Jesus dos Santos Godoi attends the Santo Agostinho parish group and also does crafts at the Laudato Si Social Center. At 66, she is bursting with health and energy, and is always smiling, happy with life! She believes that this is the secret to living better in this moment, which for many people can be challenging: - Seeing the beauty in every stage of life, always with great joy! And to get through this new phase, faith, exercise, and friends are indispensable.

Wanderlei Marques has been attending the Laudato Si Social Center for a few months. He lives near the Center. At 75 years old, Mr. Wanderlei suffers from unemployment, having been looking for work for over a year since he moved from Araçatuba to Campinas to be closer to his daughter. Even though he is retired, he still feels fully capable of working, but unfortunately, people consider him “too old” for that!

✨ The talented participants of the Arte de Viver  craft class put their hands to work and created beautiful hygienic caps for the CSLS solidarity kitchen.

Elizabeth Nascimento Silva has been attending the Laudato Si Social Center (CSLS) through @maemariarosa for a year. At 70, she does not feel the weight of age and does not let the fact that she is considered an elderly person interfere with her quality of life. The only change she would make in her life if she could would be to study while she was still young!
