The name choice for Home of Dulce Spiritist Centre (HDSC)<\/b> is a tribute to the dear Maria Rita de Sousa Brito Lopes Pontes, best-known as Sister Dulce, a Brazilian nun who devoted her life to works of charity and assistance to the poor and needy.<\/p>\n

Sister Dulce was born in Salvador, Bahia, on May 26, 1914, and disincarnated in Salvador, on March 13, 1992. She was beatified in 2011 and canonized in 2019, with the title of Santa Dulce dos Pobres (Saint Dulce of the Poor), being the first saint born in Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
