The Jesus Menino Catholic Community (CCJM) in Petrópolis (RJ) is a welcoming home and family for those who have been excluded and abandoned because they are special. Dozens of children, young people, and adults live in this community. They are all adopted children of Antônio Tavares de Mello, who has been answering this calling for over 30 years to be both father and mother to all of them, with the participation of consecrated individuals, couples, and volunteers.

The Rainhas e Reis Magos Donor Program will facilitate people from all over the world to make online monthly donations starting from R$ 30.00. The program includes a donor identity, as well as a visual identity design. The idea is for the donor’s image to harmoniously align with the charisma of the institution, which sees itself as the family of Jesus Menino. That is why donors are called Queens and Wise Men.

The program offers various forms of feedback so that donors can follow the life and mission of the community, see the direct impact of their generosity, and feel part of it. “We are excited to launch this program because we believe it will be one of the doors to help make our family a path to save lives and announce God in the family and society,” says Tonio Tavares, founder of the community.

We were born inspired by the Catholic meaning of Bethany, the place where Jesus was served. With the same idea of serving those who serve, we were created to support organizations that provide service to society.

As Pope Francis says, “In the house of Bethany, the Lord Jesus experienced the spirit of family and the friendship of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus… who offered the Lord Jesus the hospitality of their home, giving him their dedicated attention.”

Thus, the logo of Betânia seeks to reflect these aspects. With the three main characters who symbolize Bethany (Martha, Mary, and Lazarus) at the center, the logo represents their unity as they worked together to serve those who serve, which is what we aim to do as a team. Enclosed in a circle, the idea is to show that we are integrated within the organization that serves, serving from within, alongside the organization, and it also symbolizes a place of welcome. The flame represents the passion for service, for doing the job well. In Catholicism, the flame also symbolizes the action of the Holy Spirit, reminding us that we are merely instruments in this service.

The volunteer trip is scheduled to take place in May 2025. Full of various activities, workshops, and interactions, it will be an opportunity for a profound exchange of experiences and will offer the foreign young volunteers the chance to serve outside their country, grow in a social commitment experience, and engage in the life and mission of a Brazilian social organization. The organization, in turn, will have the opportunity to help expand the horizons of its beneficiary children.
