The grape harvest season has begun. JSM followed the work of picking grapes at a farm in Santa Marinha

The grape harvest season has begun and the Santa Marinha Newspaper followed the work of picking grapes at a farm in Santa Marinha, in the municipality of Seia. The article describes the community ritual of manual harvesting, where workers bent over the vines cut bunches of red grapes with scissors and place them in buckets, then transported to larger containers and then to the winery. The workers highlighted the magnificent colour and high sugar content of this year's grapes. The break for a fortified mid-morning snack and the lunch of feijoada were highlighted as essential moments of fellowship, with an older worker stating that "harvesting without good group food is not a harvest". The article emphasises that this ancient tradition unites generations, celebrates the land and sustains the local economy.

D. Nuno Brás: "The Hospital is precisely a place where we realize this world is passing"

The Bishop of Funchal, D. Nuno Brás, celebrated the 53rd anniversary of Dr. Nélio Mendonça Hospital in Madeira with a Mass on the morning of September 9th, in which he reflected on the fragility of human existence and the fleeting nature of this world. In his homily, the prelate emphasized that the hospital is a place where one realizes that "everything is very brief," and that it is in fragility, illness, and vulnerability that the human being recognizes their condition and perceives God at their side. The celebration, marked by the motto "For 53 years, dedicated to what matters most: Life," was attended by the Regional Secretary for Health and Civil Protection, Micaela Fonseca de Freitas, and the President of the SESARAM Board of Directors, Márcia Gomes, bringing together healthcare professionals in a moment of thanksgiving for the service provided to the Madeiran population.
