On Thursday, the Archdiocese of Teresina inaugurated the Fraternity Campaign 2026, themed 'Fraternity and Housing' with the motto 'He came to dwell among us'. Archbishop Juarez Sousa emphasized that housing is a fundamental condition for human dignity and highlighted the Church's mission to reflect on and raise awareness about this pressing reality. By integrating the Word of God into this discussion, the campaign aims to prioritize housing rights within society.

The Fraternity Campaign is promoted by the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB) and is now in its 62nd edition, aiming to shed light on sustainable housing as a fundamental right, not only in urban areas but also in rural communities. The campaign underlines the importance of ecological care as a moral responsibility, urging society to preserve nature and extend the concept of home beyond mere shelter to include a healthier, sustainable environment.

Through this initiative, the Church seeks to mobilize communities, ensuring that the conversation around housing and ecology remains central in national discourse. The focus on moral imperatives intertwines with social justice, highlighting the essential need for sustainable living conditions, and encouraging collective efforts to address housing inequalities in Brazil.
