RESUMO

The objective of the present work is to analyse the ecumenical task performed by Franciscan Friars and Sisters of Atonement in Sao Paulo City in the period from 1977 to 1994. Founded in 1898 by Anglican Episcopal reverend Paul James Francis (Father Paul Wattson) and Mother Lurana White started the movement preaching the union of Catholic, Anglican Episcopal and Greek Orthodox Churches. The conversion of those members to Catholicism in 1909 did not interrupt the ecumenical activities, which continued after the death of Paul Wattson in 1940. They created in 1963 the mission at Jataí and Rio Verde Diocese in Goias State. In Sao Paulo City the action took place in 1977 by invitation of archbishop D. Paulo Evaristo Arns, expanding the ecumenical work inArchdiocese . In 1994 they decided their departure from Brazil.
