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):

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.

BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
Mariana è cresciuta in una famiglia cattolica. A 18 anni, per la prima volta, ha conosciuto personalmente una suora ed è rimasta così colpita da quell'incontro e dal fatto che possano esistere persone disposte a lasciare tutto per seguire Cristo, da farle sentire il desiderio di donare anche lei tutta la sua vita a Dio. A partire da quel momento ha cominciato a sforzarsi di conformare sempre di più la sua vita ai comandamenti del Signore. Nel 2022 ha conosciuto su internet i Piccoli Frati e Piccole Suore di Gesù e Maria, ed ha iniziato l'accompagnamento vocazionale mentre proseguiva i suoi studi di Educazione Fisica all'università. Nel 2025, a 22 anni di età comincia il suo cammino in comunità entrando nei 6 mesi di esperienza.

BREVE PROFILO e LINGUE per l’Evangelizzazione:
Maria di Fátima è nata il 12 ottobre 2005 in Brasile, in una famiglia cattolica. Come tanti giovani, dopo la cresima ha smesso di frequentare la Chiesa. Il suo ideale era essere hippie, ascoltare rock, girare per le strade, partecipare ai festival e farsi molti piercing. Tuttavia, a 18 anni, ha ricevuto un invito a partecipare a una novena. Quel momento semplice l'ha toccata profondamente e l'ha portata a tornare in Chiesa. Questo le ha fatto capire che cercare Dio le donava la felicità che prima non aveva. Nel mese di aprile ha conosciuto la comunità pfsgm attraverso un video su Instagram, sentendosi attratta dallo stile di vita è entrata in contatto e ha cominciato un cammino di discernimento della Volontà di Dio, e la ricerca per la Santità, desiderio che muove il suo cuore.

BREVE PROFILO e LINGUE per l’Evangelizzazione:
Maria Rita è nata il 7 ottobre 2004 in una piccola città del Paraná, in Brasile. La sua vita è, in un certo senso, un miracolo vivente, per le volte in cui il Signore l'ha salvata dalla morte. Infatti, porta il nome Rita in omaggio a Santa Rita da Cascia, patrona delle cause impossibili. A 11 anni sente la chiamata di Dio alla vita religiosa e, da quel momento, ha iniziato a cercare di comprendere meglio la sua fede. È entrata nelle pastorali e nei movimenti della parrocchia. Una volta maggiorenne, ha fatto un'esperienza vocazionale in una comunità religiosa, ma, capendo che quello non era il luogo dove il Signore la chiamava, è uscita e ha continuato la sua ricerca. Ha conosciuto i Piccoli Frati e le Piccole Suore attraverso sorella Mariana Quinol, che faceva anche accompagnamento vocazionale con la comunità. Nel 2025 comincia anche lei il suo processo di discernimento con i pfsgm.

BREVE PROFILO e LINGUE per l’Evangelizzazione:
Regina è nata a Teresina, nel nord-est del Brasile, nel 1983, in una famiglia cattolica praticante. A 14 anni ha sentito la chiamata alla vita religiosa e, così, ha iniziato a partecipare ancora più attivamente alla vita della Chiesa. Inizialmente ha fatto parte di una comunità di laiche consacrate, ma sentiva che il Signore le chiedeva ancora di più. In seguito ha fatto una breve esperienza in una comunità religiosa, ma sentiva che neanche quello era il suo posto. Dopo l'ultima esperienza, mentre pregava il Signore chiedendogli di mostrarle il suo posto, ha contattato un sacerdote che le era stato indicato. Senza saperlo, quest'ultimo le ha suggerito la comunità PFSGM. Negli stessi giorni, una suora di un'altra comunità religiosa, senza sapere, le ha indicato nuovamente la comunità PFSGM. Colpita da questa "Dio-incidenza", ha contattato la responsabile vocazionale e ha iniziato il suo percorso di accompagnamento. Oltre il portoghese, parla anche lo spagnolo e capisce l'inglese e l'italiano.
