Hello!
We are a Catholic missionary family with nine children from the Neocatechumenal Way. Originally from Brazil, we’ve been living in Estonia for nine years. Our mission comes with challenges, such as being away from home, navigating the complexities of the Estonian language—often considered one of the hardest in the world—overcoming cultural barriers, managing a large family, and working hard to provide for our eleven members. However, God has consistently supported us in His creative ways, always providing more than we need.
Our four eldest children—Estêvão, Clara, Verônica, and Helena—are eager to attend the jubilee pilgrimages in Rome in 2025. The trip cost is significant, and since they are all too young to work (with Estêvão still in high school), we can’t afford the tickets on our own. While we do some small jobs, like babysitting and helping with our family’s lettuce plantation in Brazil, it hasn’t been enough.
So, we decided to take action. We wanted to find a way to raise money in a Catholic Christian manner while also sharing the message of the gospel. Our solution? Creating Catholic t-shirts! We aim to design comfortable and fashionable apparel that helps our fellow brothers and sisters in faith share the good news or as we say the Way “kerygma.”
We appreciate your support!
The Xavier Costa Family
