Fr. Athanasius Murphy, also ordained
this past May, led Brazilian and American
college students on a three-week missions
trip to poor and rural communities in
northern Brazil. “In both the urban and
rural areas we would visit families and
bring the sacraments to groups of people
who may not have seen a priest in their
area in at least a year if not longer,” he says.
