Terço dos Homens

Terço dos Homens ('Men's Rosary') is a Brazilian lay Catholic movement of Marian prayer by men only.

[4][5] The priest who is the national responsible for the movement is the Archbishop of Juiz de Fora, Gil Antônio Moreira, according to the Brazilian Episcopal Conference (CNBB).

The 21st century "wave", however, started only in 1996, in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Recife metropolitan area, in the state of Pernambuco.

Pope Francis asked the members of Terço dos Homens to pray for two African nations in civil war: the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.

The federal deputy Eros Biondini (Partido Liberal-Minas Gerais) proposed the law 2676/21, which establishes 8 September as the National Men's Rosary Day.
