Pope Francis has cleared the way for the canonization of Blessed Ignatius Choukrallah Maloyan
Archbishop Maloyan took the Christian name Ignatius and became known as an exceptional preacher in both Arabic and Turkish
devoting himself to parish ministry and the study of sacred texts in Alexandria
Pope Pius X appointed him Archbishop of Mardin during the Synod of Armenian Bishops in Rome
which examined the situation in Turkey after the rise of the Young Turks movement
After Turkish forces entered the First World War
the archbishop was arrested along with 13 priests and 600 other Christians in the tumult that included forced enlistments and harassment against Christians
Archbishop Maloyan and his companions were executed on June 3
Pope Francis also approved decrees related to the canonization of martyred layman Peter To Rot from Papua New Guinea and Venezuelan religious founder Mother Maria del Monte Carmelo

Reparation and reconciliation are a plus of love
These two terms would have no greater scope without their protagonists
without the desire to be media superheroes
dress themselves up as repairers and reconcilers
Lives capable of overcoming indifference and defeatism in the face of everything that dehumanises the dignity of all living things
in the unsuspected of any place and circumstance
discover themselves repaired and reconciled

one of those who do not easily fit in with one's own or others' tastes or feelings
knew how to see and felt compassion in the face of the suffering of others
was graciously committed to the one who had been struck by indifference and robbery
he opened for himself and others a window to a different tomorrow that was already beginning on that restorative eve
The truth is that this story does not end without adding to it an invigorating: "Go and do likewise"
interpret a polyphonic melody that brings closer the echo of a clear primordial provocation: to humanise

JORGE CORA and Ana Elisa Pérez Quintero know the sound of a bomb
They were washing vegetables on their nine-acre farm
This is the U.S Navy’s method for cleaning its nuclear litter on the east coast of Vieques Island
a municipality of Puerto Rico also known for its turquoise beaches
and mortar shells are the aftereffects of using two-thirds of the island as a bombing range from 1945 to 2003
and dropping over 80 million pounds of explosives
Open detonation can spread dangerous contaminants
but despite this environmental and safety hazard
the navy insists it is faster than the burn trays and closed-chamber blast boxes that the Congressional Research Service recommends
“There’s a lot of work to do.” Their house is on the dusty mountaintop of Monte Carmelo
Environmentalists first occupied the lot in the 1970s
meant to rescue the land taken by the navy
the neighborhood is also called Tierra de Valientes (Land of the Brave) by locals
“I’ve had a machete in my hand since the age of seven,” said Cora
walking about the finca (farm) in old Levi’s and a pink-and-blue bandana
He inspected the bright green plantain trees growing splendidly on dry
“A college counselor once urged me to become a lawyer because of my grades
“It’s a wonderful profession because you live in abundance.”
Monte Carmelo is also the headquarters for their Colectiva Agrícola Viequense farm cooperative
a place for farmers and locals to learn about agroecology and other sustainable modes of cultivation
Finca Conciencia is a member of Organización Boricuá de Agricultura Ecológica de Puerto Rico
founded in 1989 by rural farmers concerned that their ancient farming techniques were disappearing
It also organizes farmers to help one another
The Organización Boricuá assembled Brigadas de Apoyo—recovery brigades—that planted new crops
and rebuilt infrastructure on damaged farms
The organization calls this the jibaro a jibaro bridge—jibaro means “small farmer”—and the farming model
which Cora and Pérez Quintero deploy on Finca Conciencia
is based on the campesino a campesino (farmer-to-farmer) movement that started in the 1970s in Guatemala and found its way to Mexico
Their philosophy of agroecology emerged from Mesoamerica’s remote farming communities who
had little support in solving issues like chronic land erosion
The poor farmers had very limited access to education and funding
Kaqchikel Maya farmers from the midwestern highlands of Guatemala and nonprofit World Neighbors devised a method for farmers to help one another and exchange ideas
“Better one good idea in a hundred heads than a hundred ideas in one good head,” as World Neighbors’ Don Marcos Orozco once proclaimed
The farmers were taught conservation and heavy labor techniques—contour ditches
The movement gave birth to an autonomous cycle of farmer-led development
where the land is protected and farmers have more independence
The methods have reached all corners of the world
On Finca Conciencia—one of the first farms in Vieques to practice agroecology—Cora and Pérez Quintero are sharing with other farmers the lessons they learned from the Maya and Taínos
Their newly formed Colectiva Agrícola Viequense
a Vieques-wide collective of farmers and educators
is taking their knowledge of Vieques’s harsh
They offer farming workshops in churches and collaborate with the composting school Isla Nena Composta and the land education nonprofit Juntas
They teach children to transplant fruit trees in a nursery
They show residents how to collect branches
and to hydrate the dry soil using rain gardens
Pérez Quintero shares knowledge about making healing salves from honey
And the collaborations have also taught the Finca Conciencia farmers how to better work their own land
grounded in land protection efforts that began in Vieques in the 1960s
with activists striving to evict the navy and rescue the land from decades of massive water and soil contamination
and now Cora and Pérez Quintero have turned to the next phase of liberation: freeing the island from the noxious and expensive foods that Viequenses have little choice but to eat
“We want to eradicate this feeling of lack,” said Cora
referring to the fear of not having enough to eat
Eighty-five percent of Puerto Rico’s food is imported
with fruits and vegetables often arriving half-dead
After traveling thousands of miles by land and sea to reach Puerto Rico
food is then transported fifty-seven miles by truck from San Juan
and then by an unreliable ferry to Vieques
What Viequenses are sold in the grocery store is old food
Add to that a lack of medical care in Vieques (the only hospital on the island has been closed since Hurricane María)
and it’s easy to see why locals are eager to become independent in food and health
Just sixteen miles east of Puerto Rico’s mainland
Vieques once thrived with family farms and sugar plantations
it lost two-thirds of its land when the United States took it by eminent domain to create a bombing range for the navy
Some say families were given twenty-four hours’ notice and thirty dollars before bulldozers demolished their homes
Many Viequenses were moved to the neighboring island of St
and Agent Orange for over half a century has been associated with incidences of illness that are much higher than in Puerto Rico proper
including by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
have shown that cancer rates are much higher in Vieques than in Puerto Rico
once called Vieques “probably one of the most highly contaminated sites in the world.” And without access to the nutritious food that people need to withstand illness and injury
when I moved to Vieques from San Juan to work in a hotel
I was not aware of the severity of the contamination
I ate fruits and vegetables from different areas of the island and swam in the waters closest to the military zone
places thought to have high levels of deadly toxins
my neighbor told me to stop eating the star fruit from the trees
She said the navy had used veneno (poison) on Vieques
I later learned that traces of contaminants were found by Puerto Rican scientists
dull pain in my thyroid became my new normal
“You have cancer.” Was local food the cause
with few fresh vegetables and fruits at the supermarket
He grew up in a small agroecological farm in rural Arroyo
picking the best food from the ground or a tree
He worked his family’s land and became a beekeeper
until Hurricane Georges destroyed his hives in 1998
working as a farmer for a Russian landowner in Monte Carmelo
The owner one day left for the United States and died
born and raised in the college town of Río Piedras
Losing her father to cancer made her think about the connection between food and health
and this inspired her to become an ecologist
She found her way to Vieques after visiting the island through the University of Puerto Rico
she met Cora and decided to stay on his farm for a few months to share her knowledge of agroecology
Cora and Pérez Quintero are betting on local farming to bring health to the island
but the aftermath of the military exercises still lingers
and today there are virtually no water sources
The dry plots left in their stead are especially laborious to farm
because they have to fight to survive here,” said Pérez Quintero
but warrior foods are incredibly delicious and nutritious.” They say that on Vieques
Finca Conciencia is known for its arugula and tomatoes
desertlike soil thanks to the raised dirt beds Cora created to retain water
chopping and wiping the sweat off her face
we can aspire to free Puerto Rico as well.”
The soil may still contain toxins—on the south side of Vieques
Yet agroecology remains the farmers’ best weapon for battling the island’s food deficiency
They make use of sustainable methods passed down from previous generations
They recycle biomass to increase the availability and flow of nutrients; create microclimates using trees to control temperature
and sunlight exposure; and apply ground-covering plants to reduce heat and moisture loss
they believe in rescuing and implementing traditional farming methods from decades past
“We listen to the land and work with what she gives us,” said Cora
They cultivate a variety of fruits and vegetables in a plot
which can disrupt natural ecosystems and degrade the soil
They also believe that agroecology can heal toxic soil—a belief supported by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
which has stated that agroecology can reverse chemical
and physical degradation by preventing water runoff; reducing the release of carbon dioxide as temperatures rise; helping soil retain nutrients; and improving natural pest resistance and fertility
even noted that toxicity in Vieques could be reduced
because “plants naturally remove heavy metals from soils” and “could be employed for the restoration of this and similarly contaminated sites.” The FAO also suggested that farmers spearhead these soil restoration efforts because they understand local conditions best
Building on the knowledge they and other Vieques farmers have accrued through experience
the Finca Conciencia farmers incorporate biological remediation into their work by farming on more areas of the island—not just on Finca Conciencia—and stimulating the soil with natural materials like compost
which works to transform inorganic contaminants into lesser bioavailable forms
“We have to keep farming sustainably until the land is cured and Viequenses have access to nutrient-dense foods,” said Pérez Quintero
without action from those with power—proper cleanup
and acknowledgment of the connection between environment
and health—these local efforts to heal the land and achieve food sovereignty will always be limited
It also means dispensing with the popular idea of Vieques as simply a tourist destination
and the tourism industry as a necessary provider of jobs
is the problem,” said Cora as we traversed their plot
But some locals and government officials are opening the doors to investors
potentially closing off some available land for farming
gentrifying many culturally relevant neighborhoods
“The best way to use the land in Vieques is by occupying it with something real
and preserves from Finca Conciencia and other Vieques farms
where earnings from their sales to urbanites
who must otherwise buy packaged or wilted food
They also keep using their farm as a school
“Everybody should grow at least some of their food
Cora and Pérez Quintero believe that teaching farming and working increasingly more land will make the farming life more popular—and raise the odds of establishing a reserva agrícola
Maybe extreme weather will even help their cause
When food and water stopped arriving to the port after Hurricane María
Finca Conciencia’s structures were destroyed
Cora and Pérez Quintero harvested what remained and gave it to local residents
then planted what they could at the finca and built a small community garden at a local church
especially after receiving government aid “in the form of canned spicy sausages,” said Pérez Quintero
“That experience introduced Viequenses to real food and the value of farming.”
She showed me what was left of their home—some parts still had no roofing
“It seems like we are here for this imaginary paradise of beautiful beaches and piña coladas,” she said
“This paradise is for others to enjoy while we lack something as basic as fresh food.”
Postcards of Vieques don’t show the side that might’ve damaged my health
They don’t show the bruising and depletion of the land
They don’t portray the people who died from the navy’s toxic legacy or the shortage of important nutrition necessary to survive their illnesses
I sailed to Vieques and drove to the jungle in Pilón
There was no trace of the paradise promoted by tourism companies—only its ugly
Some say the violent hurricane winds stirred old toxins hidden within the soil and interred in the depths of the sea
They say now this is just more proof of the contamination: the veneno was agitated and released
The dirty secret just can’t stay away hidden
aquello es arúgula (that over there is arugula)
y allá están los tomates (and over there are the tomatoes),” explained Cora as we explored the finca
Pérez Quintero followed closely on his heels
her short hair enveloped in a red paisley kerchief
We reached a clearing where hundreds of leafy greens sprouted from the ground
collecting foliage and tomatoes in a makeshift pouch of the yellow cotton tank top she wore
and you need to know how to solve it,” he said
the land won’t stop producing riches.” The wind blew from the east
and las matas de plátano (the plantain trees) briefly danced
Cora was ringed by a papaya tree to his right
and Pérez Quintero placed the tomatoes and arugula on a cutting board
“We can pursue energy sovereignty or political sovereignty
we can aspire to free Puerto Rico as well,” she said
a brave red sphere filled with warrior nutrients my body craved to fight for my health
and some of the sweet tomato juice dripped down my shirt
I ate the rest in a frenzy and asked for more

Mary’s NCAA Tournament hopes have suffered a significant blow
with sophomore guard Carmelo Pacheco officially ruled out for tonight’s First Four matchup against American University
The 6’5″ standout who has been a consistent offensive threat
but will miss this crucial win or go-home contest due to a finger injury
The timing couldn’t be worse for the Mountaineers
as both teams enter the showdown with identical 22-12 records
Pacheco’s absence removes a key scoring option and defensive presence from Mount St
Mary’s arsenal just as March Madness begins
Head coach Dan Engelstad now faces the challenging task of reconfiguring his rotation before tip-off in Dayton
Pacheco’s contributions extend beyond his 9.5 points per game
His 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists have been instrumental to the Mountaineers’ success this season
The guard’s versatility on both ends of the court has made him a cornerstone of Coach Engelstad’s system
creating a significant void that must be addressed immediately
Dakota Leffew of the Mountaineers should expect many more commitments from his coaches at guard positions
Mary’s Carmelo Pacheco (finger) is OUT for Wednesday’s First Four game against American
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) March 18, 2025
Coach Engelstad needs to revamp the game strategy by focusing on ball movement together with perimeter shooting and defensive force because of Pacheco’s departure
Success in advancing will depend on effective strategic adaptations by Mount St
Mary’s since one of their core contributors is missing from their lineup
the First Four game will occur at UD Arena in Dayton
for the 71st contest between these two teams as part of their regional rivalry
American University possesses a narrow 38-32 lead throughout their history
including a narrow 68-64 victory when these teams last met in November 2023
The familiarity between these opponents adds another layer of intrigue to an already high-pressure situation
American enters with both historical advantage and the psychological edge from their most recent encounter
factors that become even more significant with Pacheco sidelined for the Mountaineers
The implications of tonight’s contest extend well beyond bragging rights in this regional rivalry
The winner earns the formidable reward of advancing to face No
This challenging draw awaits whichever team can survive this preliminary round matchup
KEEP READING: American vs. Mount St. Mary’s Prediction: First Four Clash for NCAA Tournament Spot
the path becomes considerably steeper without Pacheco’s scoring and playmaking abilities
American University now has additional reason for confidence
though they’ll need to capitalize on the Mountaineers’ adjusted lineup to secure their ticket to the main bracket and the showdown with Duke
Mary’s faces a defining moment in their season
The rest of their team will need to rally together despite losing a key contributor
or see their NCAA Tournament journey end before it truly begins
Coach Engelstad’s ability to motivate his squad and implement effective adjustments will determine whether the Mountaineers can overcome this significant setback when they take the floor tonight in Dayton

Currently, with over 230,000 trees planted on 63 hectares, the farm sells green coffee abroad and launched its own specialty coffee roastery brand, MonCerrado, with three varieties: Natural (82 points), Vulcão [Volcanic] (83 points), and Fermented (85 points).
Mello said she didn’t know much about farming and started learning about coffee and the Cerrado biome. With a mind on the best processes regarding sustainability and family succession, in addition to flavor, she was concerned, from the beginning, with delivering a quality product with good practices, taking into account the farm’s ecosystem, water springs, and fauna such as armadillo, jaguar, pampas deer, with an eye on regenerative agriculture.
Today, the coffee grower is one of the most prominent representatives of the Cerrado Mineiro region. The farmer received a group of journalists last week, to whom she told about the specialty coffee production process and the farm’s projects focused on regenerative agriculture.
She also showed the recovered springs and the area with native bee hives, which have over 30 families of stinging and 17 stingless bees. Both projects received support from the Brazilian National Rural Learning Service (SENAR).
“I want my grandchildren to come and drink water from the spring,” said Mello, who has two children, a teenager and a toddler.
With the circular economy in mind, the coffee straw, which contains potassium, is used as a biofertilizer mixed with animal manure, rich in nutrients. The spaces between the coffee plantations receive a mix of cover crops that also act as bio-inputs, reducing the use of chemical fertilizers by 30%, keeping pests under control, and improving the microbiota of the coffee terroir.
The farm has photovoltaic panels to capture solar energy and a six-meter-deep water pocket that stores rainwater for drip irrigation, which accounts for 70% of the water used on the farm.
In farming, coffee feels the effects of climate change with a drop in productivity per hectare. Last year, with the drought, production output reached only 50% of the expected amount. “Drought severely affects agricultural production. With extreme weather events, damage is certain. There is no production more affected by climate effects than agriculture,” said Sueme Mori, director of International Relations of the Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock (CNA).
Fazenda Santa Bárbara has certifications for management, social, agricultural, and environmental practices and has a laboratory to guarantee and control the quality of its coffee. The farm also adopts biodefensive products and works with social and environmental sustainability projects, among other initiatives.
“The less interference in farming, the more quality and complexity in the cup. It’s a win-win relationship. The farmers win for themselves, for the community, and for agricultural production,” said Mello about sustainable practices.
In addition to the farm, the delegation also learned about the work of the Monte Carmelo Cerrado Coffee Growers Cooperative (MonteCCer) and its process of grading the beans and storing them from arrival to distributing the coffee to the members. Fazenda Santa Bárbara is a cooperative member.
The superintendent director of MonteCCer, Regis Salles, informed that in addition to the 192 cooperative members, other customers store their coffee in the cooperative’s warehouse. “This is an extension of the cooperative members’ farm,” said Salles. MonteCCer has warehouses, a q-grading laboratory, a certification area for good practices, technical assistance, a quality laboratory, and a coffee sales network, among other services.
Green coffee from Fazenda Santa Bárbara has already been exported to Singapore, other Asian countries, Norway, and other European destinations.
The specialty coffee brand MonCerrado is an Agro.BR project member. CNA developed the project in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil). The idea is to encourage the export of roasted coffee with higher added value.
The initiative aims to expand Brazilian exports by encouraging small and medium-sized producers to close deals with other countries. The program includes awareness raising, training, support in export plans, customized consultancy, participation in B2Bs, and support from international offices, among other services.
Cerrado Mineiro was the first coffee region in Brazil to obtain a Geographical Indication (GI) seal, which attests to quality and adds value to products. The region has over 4,500 coffee farmers who produce, on average, 35 bags per hectare. This volume corresponds to 20% of the state’s total, and around 70% of the bags are exported.
For the 2023/24 harvest, coffee production in Cerrado Mineiro is expected to reach 6.9 million bags, 13% of total Brazilian production. The average output in recent years was six million bags in an area of 234,000 hectares.
The region has altitudes of 800 meters to 1,300 meters, with a flat topography, a hot climate in the summer, and a dry climate in the winter, favoring the production of specialty coffee.
Minas Gerais is Brazil’s leading coffee-producing state, producing 99% Arabica species. Minas Gerais’ production represents around 52% of the coffee produced in Brazil, based on the 2023 harvest.
From January to August this year, coffee accounted for 36% of the state’s agribusiness foreign sales. In that period, 12.8 million bags were shipped to 87 countries, mainly the United States, Germany, Italy, and Japan.
The ANBA reporter traveled to the region at the invitation of CNA.
The Gulf country has deposited its instrument of acceptance of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, which is aimed at curbing harmful subsidies that contribute to overfishing and promoting the sustainable management of global marine resources.
The Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA) is the news website of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, out of São Paulo, Brazil. Its goal is to promote communication between Brazilians and Arabs.
Recovery of artwork, artists and documents expands our understanding of São Paulo’s expression of this style
LÉO RAMOS CHAVES Igreja do Carmo, in São Paulo: painting by Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo in the nave …LÉO RAMOS CHAVES
LÉO RAMOS CHAVES …and the Crucified Christ
both from the 18th centuryLÉO RAMOS CHAVES
Artist and art historian Percival Tirapeli
author of 20 books on Brazilian art and coordinator of the Unesp art research group
looks up at the ceiling of the Igreja do Carmo and says: “We spent four years using a scalpel to remove recent layers of paint.” Behind the altar stands the 1746 wood sculpture of unknown authorship entitled Senhor morto [Dead Lord]
and which Tirapelo considers “one of the most beautiful sculptures in São Paulo baroque art.” Nearly 30 kilometers (km) away from the city center
at the Capela de São Miguel Arcanjo [Saint Michael the Archangel Chapel]
the group found a rare perspective painting of the altar that had been hidden for decades by another wooden altar
Unexpected works of art also emerged at the mother church of Nossa Senhora da Candelária [Our lady of Candelária] in the city of Itu
the largest baroque church in the state of São Paulo
It was built in 1780 and has been undergoing restoration since 2001
Upon the recommendation of musician Luís Roberto de Francisco
a researcher at the city’s Museum of Music
the restoration teams salvaged six planks of wood
depicting one of the scenes of the Christ’s passion
they probably held the original ceiling paintings of the church that had been used to protect a clock tower
They were done by Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo—and no one knew about them
the restoration teams found paintings in blue on the walls of the chancel of the mother church in Itu
and a signature that this time revealed unknown artist Mathias Teixeira da Silva
conducted by Iphan historian Carlos Gutierrez Cerqueira
has led to the identification of sculptor Bartolomeu Teixeira Guimarães (1738-?) as the artist behind the monumental altar
Emerging as well were signs of collaboration between Guimarães and José Patrício da Silva Manso (1753-1801)
the artist of the painting on the ceiling and teacher of Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo
pointing to connections between the artists and their works
Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo did paintings found in three other churches in Itu: Igreja do Carmo
Nossa Senhora do Patrocínio [Our Lady of Patronage] and Igreja do Bom Jesus [Church of the Good Shepherd]

architect Rafael Schunk recovered two little-known artists: the Portuguese priest Agostinho da Piedade (1580-1661) and his student Agostinho de Jesus (1600-1661)
who lived and worked in the Paraíba Valley
Schunk considers Agostinho de Jesus “the first Brazilian artist.” It was after him that came the other
Brazilian baroque artists: Antônio Francisco Lisboa (1738-1814)—aka Aleijadinho—and Manuel da Costa Ataíde (1762-1830)
and Valentim da Fonseca e Silva (1745-1813)
Art historian Maria José Passos, a professor at Cruzeiro do Sul University (Unicsul), identified more baroque works than she expected to find as she visited 79 churches in 47 cities throughout the state of São Paulo as part of her doctoral studies, completed at Unesp in 2015 (see map)
Some 10 religious sculptures at least 200 years old had been stored with no identification in closets
“Most of the pieces are not properly catalogued,” she noted
Passos became intrigued every time she saw sculptures with glass eyes that were unlike others in the collections
although they were still considered baroque
Unesp researcher and restorer Cristiana Cavaterra provided the answer: many of these works had been done by Italian artist Marino Del Favero (1864-1943)
Favero moved to Brazil at age 28 and opened a studio for sacred sculpture and altars in São Paulo’s city center
listed them for sale in catalogues and took orders from São Paulo
pushing a portion of baroque into the early 20th century
Art historians claim that baroque art formally ended with The Last Supper
painted by Costa Ataíde at Colégio do Caraça

As cities in São Paulo—especially the capital—began to grow at a faster rate from the 19th century on
baroque art differed markedly from the urban landscape in the eyes of artist Emanoel Araújo
director of São Paulo’s Afro-Brazil Museum: “There is a spartan side to São Paulo.” As director of the Pinacoteca of the state of São Paulo from1992 to 2002
he promoted exhibitions that expanded the visibility of Brazilian baroque art
Araújo curated the exhibit O universo mágico do barroco brasileiro [The Magical Universe of Brazilian Baroque]
displaying 364 pieces from 1640 to 1820 at the FIESP Cultural Center

“Much was lost while São Paulo baroque was less valued,” says art historian Mozart Costa
a professor of artistic restoration at the Pontifical Catholic University (PUC-SP) and the City University of São Paulo
had read reports about 45 rural São Paulo chapels from the 17th century and went looking for them
“The time has come to invest as heavily in the restoration of works of art as Iphan has been investing in restoring the architecture of the churches for 80 years,” he says
Although there is renewed interest in São Paulo baroque
On the walls of one corridor of the church of the Ordem Terceira do Carmo are 19 paintings by Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo that are nearly covered by black residue
It would cost nearly R$50,000 each to restore them and since there is no money
