The “Lent Calendar” Project is a solidarity initiative promoted by the Voluntaria*te group of the Portuguese Catholic University (UCP) - Braga, in partnership with the Monsenhor Airosa Institute (IMA).

This community-based and deeply human project aims to promote the personal empowerment of IMA users and encourage their active participation in the local community. To this end, it relies on the collaboration of renowned figures who are close to the Institute's partners, in order to reinforce our sense of social responsibility.

The “Lent Calendar” can be purchased for €5 at various locations in the city of Braga, namely at CAB (UCP Sales Point), at the IMA reception, at the Pio XII Museum, at the Sé Museum, at the Nova Livraria Diário do Minho bookstore, at the Parish of S. Lázaro, at the Maximinos Parish Council, at various parishes in the city, at partner stores, and from private individuals. All proceeds will go towards supporting IMA's social mission.

The initiative also has the support of the Archdiocese of Braga, Braga City Council, Bullet Creative Agency, Diário do Minho, Minha Magazine, Elisabete Cabeleireiros, and Boutique d'A Tereza.

With this initiative, UCP – Braga reinforces its commitment to solidarity and social responsibility, mobilizing students, teachers, and the surrounding community around a cause that promotes inclusion and values the social work carried out by the Monsenhor Airosa Institute.
