Lack of hygiene, bugs and damp: 81-year-old woman lives in unsuitable home in Santa Maria da Feira

SIC Notícias2 September 2026 at 15:13

Mabilde Leite, an elderly woman who is almost 82 years old, lives in a house without conditions in Santa Maria da Feira. The space presents serious problems of lack of hygiene, presence of bugs and damp, compromising the well-being and health of the resident.

The elderly woman has been living in this residence for about 12 years, accompanied by two children. One of them has a disability and the other is unemployed, which limits the family's financial capacity to seek a housing alternative. Mabilde Leite pays a rent of 150 euros for the house where she lives.

The Santa Maria da Feira council has the case on record and is working to find an alternative housing solution for this family, trying to resolve the precarious situation they find themselves in.

Social Communications: National Days will be an occasion of listening to 'build a common path'

The National Days of Social Communication, promoted by the National Secretariat for Social Communications of the Catholic Church in Portugal, will take place on September 24 in Leiria, under the theme "For a grammar of encounter." Director Rita Carvalho stated that the event will be an occasion for listening and identifying good practices to "build a common path," emphasizing the importance of communicators listening to one another. D. Alexandre Palma, president of the Episcopal Commission for Social Communications, explained that the commission's objective is to promote "subsidiarity," that is, standing alongside communicators to give them more strength, resources, capacity, imagination, and courage, rather than acting in their place. The day's program includes a dialogue between D. Alexandre Palma and journalist João Miguel Tavares on the theme "Re-learning the art of conversation," followed by group work sessions where participants can choose between six thematic meetings: organizing a diocesan secretariat, caring for institutional communication, creating digital content, reporting on the Church and religion, communicating in ecclesial media, and announcing in the digital mission.
