BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
She has attended the Catholic Church since she was little. She met the community of the Little Friars and Little Nuns of Jesus and Mary when she was only 11, and watching her father's conversion after he met the pfsgm community she was so impressed that she firmly decided to search out God's will for her so that she, too (cum gratia Dei) could help people change the way her father did. Shortly after her 18th birthday, with the blessing of her family and the Bishop of Visieu, she left everything to come to Italy and begin her journey toward total consecration to the Lord. In addition to Portuguese, she reads and writes Italian and Spanish; recently she has also been improving her English, thanks to her stay in the psgm formation house in Houma-Thibodaux (Louisiana, USA).

BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
After a somewhat rebellious past, far from the Lord (due to some sufferings and injustices that she went through when she was very young), she discovered the mercy of God and began a journey of profound conversion which also led her to mature in her religious vocation. She encountered the community of the Little Friars and Little Nuns of Jesus and Mary through facebook and began a gradual course of discernment with Sr. Clara (which lasted for about a year). Feeling called to experience the lifestyle of the pfsgm, she left Brazil in August of 2017 to come to Italy, advancing with joy and enthusiasm on her journey towards total consecration to the Lord. In addition to Portuguese, she speaks and writes in Italian.

BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
During her youth she felt she had to make the most of life so she soon threw herself into the attractions of the world. Thanks to the lack of peace and a grace obtained after a strong prayer, she began her journey of conversion and the search for Holiness. Later, she met the Little Friars and Little Nuns of Jesus and Mary through a poster published on Facebook in which it was written: "There are those who on Saturday night look for the party that ends, and there are those who on Saturday night look for the party that does not end. We look for the one that does not end, and you?" Attracted and intrigued by this slogan she decided to contact the community, after a journey of discernment, she left Brazil to begin her journey of consecration. In addition to Portuguese, she speaks Spanish and also understands Italian.

BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
Jamilly was born in a simple Catholic family, the youngest of 11 brothers and sisters. When she was 14, she started to play soccer, participating in various school championships and receiving invitations to take up a professional career in the sector. One day, after hearing a priest's homily about the imitation of Christ, she realized that the Lord did not take the first place in her life, and from that moment a strong desire was born in her to know and conform herself more fully to the Word of God. Later, after reading the words of Jesus, "What profit is it if a man gains the whole world, but loses his soul?" (Mark 8:36), she decided to abandon soccer and, step by step, search for the Will of God for her life. When she was 18, she left her parents' house to begin her journey with the community. Today, in addition to Brazilian Portuguese, she understands Spanish and a bit of Italian.

Months later, she found a vocational group online led by the pfsgm community. She wanted to discern her vocation in a more profound and serious way in order to have more certain answers to her questions, and so began to participate in the vocational meetings; later she, together with her family, joined an adp-vv group of prayer with the community, and when she finished her university studies she joined the community. In addition to Brasilian Portuguese, she occasionally studies Italian.

However, one day out of nowhere she was asked to give an essay on vocation in a group of young people and from there the desire to understand God's will for her started. In 2020 she met a little nun on Instagram, she began to do vocational accompaniment and participate in online meetings.

BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
Maria of Fatima was born on October 12, 2005 in Brazil, into a Catholic family. Like many young people, after confirmation she stopped going to church. Her ideal was to be a hippie, listen to rock, wander the streets, go to festivals and get lots of piercings. However, at 18, she received an invitation to participate in a novena. That simple moment touched her deeply and led her to return to church. This made her understand that seeking God gave her the happiness she had not had before. In April she met the pfsgm community through a video on Instagram, feeling attracted by the lifestyle. She started to keep in touch with them and began a journey of vocational discernment of God's Will, and the search for Holiness, a desire that moves her heart.

At 11 years old, she felt the call of God to religious life and, from that moment, she began to try to better understand her faith. She entered the pastoral and movements of the parish. Once she came of age, she had a vocational experience in a religious community, but, realizing that it was not the place where the Lord was calling her, she left and continued her search. She met the Little Friars and the Little Nuns through Sister Mariana Quinol, who also did vocational accompaniment with the community. In 2025, she also began her process of discernment with the pfsgm.

BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
Regina was born in Teresina, in the northeast of Brazil, in 1983, into a practicing Catholic family. At 14, she felt the call to religious life and, thus, began to participate even more actively in the life of the Church. Initially, she was part of a community of consecrated lay people, but she felt that the Lord was asking even more of her. Later, she had a brief experience in a religious community, but she felt that it was not her place either. After the last experience, while she was praying to the Lord asking Him to show her place, she contacted a priest who had been recommended to her. Without knowing it, he suggested the pfsgm community. In the same days, a nun from another religious community, without knowing, again recommended the pfsgm community to her. Struck by this "God-incidence", she contacted the vocations director and began her journey of accompaniment. In addition to Portuguese, she also speaks Spanish and understands English and Italian.
