Biography

The Shalom Catholic Community is an international private association of the faithful of the Catholic Church, founded on July 9, 1982, in Fortaleza, Ceará, by Moysés Louro de Azevedo Filho. Recognized by the Holy See in 2007, the community's charism is the experience of "peace" (Shalom), understood as reconciliation with God, with oneself, and with others through an encounter with the Risen Jesus Christ. Its work is marked by creative courage, hospitality, and a missionary drive, and it is present in over 160 dioceses across 40 countries.

The community is organized into the Community of Life, whose members live in community houses with vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and the Community of Alliance, whose members integrate the charism into their family and professional lives. The Shalom Work also encompasses sympathizers from prayer groups and events, totaling thousands of participants. The Shalom Community seeks to evangelize and form children of God, operating in various countries and promoting evangelizing events, courses, and catechetical and Christian formation retreats.

In the musical sphere, the Shalom Catholic Community has a vast discography, with albums spanning genres such as gospel and religious, featuring tracks that express its faith and mission. Artists such as Alto Louvor, a pagode group formed by young members of the community in Salvador, Bahia, exemplify the musical diversity and the way art is used for evangelization. The Community also features the Shalom Studio, equipped for recording, editing, and musical production, available to serve other Catholic artists.
