LxPC 5th July - Some sort of a Redemption Walk maybe: three modern Churches.

This Saturday, João invites us to an exploration of an astonishing case of brutalist architecture, the Igreja do Sagrado Coração de Jesus, near the Marquês de Pombal square.

There will be a guided tour as they open the church especially for us. The visit will be in Portuguese and we'll improvise some translation in English within the group as best we can. The tour is free but they will appreciate a donation towards their work with people in situation of vulnerability and marginalisation.

We'll then set on a walk through Avenidas Novas towards two other modern churches where we'll briefly pause. Expect a total duration and standing/walking time of about 2h30 to 3h.

As we visit places of cult, please be respecful towards people's faith.

At the end of what will probably go down in history as the most spiritual LxPC walk to date, we'll have deserved some earthly food and drinks: the plan is to have a pic-nic in a park — there will be a possibility to buy things at a local supermarket, so you'll only need to carry a blanket and maybe glasses and such (more picnic coordination in the WhatsApp group for the walk).
