Guaratinguet\u00e1 (Brazil)<\/strong> In the context of social distancing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Educating Community of Col\u00e9gio do Carmo<\/a> of Guaratinguet\u00e1, of St. Catherine of Siena Province of Sao Paulo (BSP), on June 26, 2020 celebrated the \u2018Festa Junina\u2019, a feast of the Brazilian tradition in honor of the patron saints of June.<\/p>\n

The families of the Educating Community were involved in two ways: by sending videos and photos with dances, selfies, caricatures (avatars), poems, and a photo with the \u2018junino corner\u2019 set up in the houses; or by booking a \u2018junino kit\u2019 with traditional food to be collected at the School at a set time, in \u2018Drive thru\u2019 mode, passing by in a car to collect it.<\/p>\n

During the day of June 26, numerous posts were published on the School\u2019s social networks: videos, stories, and montages with the contents sent by the families.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am grateful for all that we have experienced on this day. It is certainly not the feast we were used to, but it is always our ‘festa junina’ at the School do Carmo”<\/em>, said the Director of the School, Sister Teresa Cristina Pisani Dominciano in a thank you video<\/u><\/a> published on social media.<\/p>\n

The festival held at the School is one of the most important traditional moments in the S\u00e3o Paulo region. Although in a different form, above all online, the participants did not lose the liveliness and joy of the Salesian style.<\/p>\n\r\n
