The present thesis aimed at analyzing and answering, in the theological
sphere, how the Catholic Church exercises its evangelizing mission in favor of
migrants. Migration processes can be experiences of Christian living because in
the midst of mishaps, success and failure, may make human s encounter with God
possible, in Jesus Christ, in the concrete reality in which the being is found. This
way, the Catholic Church, in its pastoral action in favor of migrants, must be
characterized by gratuity, receptivity, mercy, justice and love, boosting what is the
best in human beings. In order to capture appropriately the material object, i.e.,
the reality of migration, the survey opted for sampling, focusing its attention to
the Brazilian migration executed to a particular area - Boston- Massachusetts- the
USA. Throughout fieldwork, with qualitative profile, and bibliographic study of
the major works that deal with the matter, tried to understand what occurs with
this specific reality of migration. As it is a theological thesis, the formal objective
was gathered at the nucleus of Christian experience, i.e., at the encounter with
Jesus Christ and adhesion to an ecclesial community and its consequences.
Gathering both objects of research we realized the importance of the relationship
between faith and culture, seeking to evaluate to what extent the immersion in a
new culture, in this case North American, implies in faith loss or change. The
migration process analyzed through Christian faith perspective leads to
overcoming the rigid and strict structures posed as barriers that limit the freedom
and the purpose of human existence in a diverse world. Therefore, instead of
building walls, bridge building to allow dialogue and exchanges that treasure life
are necessary. Distinguishing what effectively belongs to Christian experience and
what is cultural intervention to its living is essential.
