LAÚNDOS, Portugal (AP) — Guilherme Peixoto, pároco de uma aldeia no norte de Portugal, tem estado ocupado este mês celebrando missas nas suas duas paróquias, liderando serviços fúnebres para os mortos — e preparando o set de música eletrónica para o seu próximo concerto internacional de DJ.
O que começou há quase duas décadas como uma nova forma de angariar fundos para as igrejas locais tornou-se essencial para o ministério deste padre católico de 49 anos num continente em rápida secularização onde a prática religiosa está a diminuir rapidamente – especialmente entre os jovens.
