The Blessed Virgin Mary being present here right at the entrance to Paraíso Verde wasn't a coincidence for my husband and me.  We arrived 4 years ago. When we decided to come here we had no idea that this place is blessed with the grace and mercy of Mother Mary. Shortly upon arrival we found out and went to the small sanctuary(called Tuparenda) to pray the rosary. And truly felt we had come here by Gods guidance. Since then we have experienced much joy... And many challenges. 
Come what may, we return to this dedicated place and join Guarani neighbors to pray. As well we support them in the neighborhoods with the help of another kind seddler who speaks Spanish perfectly.

Going to Mass at the Cathedral in Caazapá is a place to come home to for us as well. We love taking friends, surrounded by families with young children, embracing their Mom and Dad, or exploring walking around until they get swept up and flung back into the embrace of their family. Meanwhile the liturgy is ascending in the smell of myrrh and frankincense - the culture of Life is intact 🙏 we pray
Lord Jesus Christ have Mercy on us 🙏
