The Swiss Spiritist Federation (FESUISSE) celebrates its 10th anniversary by promoting, in partnership with Mansão do Caminho and the Caminho da Redenção Spiritist Center (CECR), the event “Living the legacy of love and peace of Divaldo Franco,” on October 10, 2026, in Yverdon, Switzerland.
This marks the beginning of a new era, initiated by the 1st International Event of Mansão do Caminho, with the noble purpose of spreading the Spiritist Doctrine, reinforcing the legacy of Divaldo Franco, and planting the first seeds abroad for the Divaldo Franco Centenary, which will take place in 2027 at the Salvador Convention Center, Bahia, between April 30 and May 2.
Beyond its great spiritual significance, this event also has the mission of raising funds for the social works of Mansão do Caminho, which for decades has transformed the lives of thousands of children and their families in Salvador. All proceeds will be directed toward the continuation of these crucial initiatives.
Come and be a part of this moment of learning, spiritualization, and solidarity, which carries forward the work of Divaldo Franco and contributes directly to a better future for those who need it most.
