Abstract

With the words “advocating for Padre Cícero and welcoming pilgrims,” the nuns Anette Dumoulin (Belgian) and Ana Thereza (Paulista) arrived in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, in the 1970s, attracted by the story of a Holy Father in Northeastern Brazil. Professors, holding a Ph.D. in Education Sciences, specialists in Studies in Religion, they left a research study on ecclesial base communities to analyze Padre Cícero and the pilgrims. So, they moved into the city and managed to create great education and social service works in favor of the pilgrims: ‘O Semeador,’ the ‘Poço de Jacó,’ the ‘Escola Madre Alix,’ the ‘Centro Catequético Francisca Inês,’ and the ‘Centro Paroquial de Assistência ao Romeiro.’ In addition, they founded the ‘Congregação de Nossa Senhora (Ordem das Cônegas de Santo Agostinho).’ This study reconstitutes the nun teachers’ life history, education, and Catholic and educative mission.
