The Diocesan Library, managed by the Teresian Association, has become a meeting place for literature and mental health thanks to an agreement with the Mental Health Center in the city of Holguín (Cuba). This space welcomes patients with addictions, anxiety disorders, depression, and other psychiatric conditions, offering them a peaceful environment for reflection and encounter with the written word.

This year 2025, the celebration of St. Pedro Poveda was lived in the Teresian Association as a triduum: from July 26 to 28, the feast day itself and the anniversary of the founder's martyrdom. Peace and dialogue, gentleness and commitment have been the underlying themes, looking at the pressing needs of the world and in communion with the voice of the Church.

On the evening of Monday, 28 July 2025, the Community of Saint Pedro Poveda, belonging to the Holy Family of Nazareth Parish in Taquaritinga-SP, held a moving liturgical celebration in honor of its patron saint. The Solemn Mass, presided by the parish priest, Fr. Daniel Bento Bejo, brought together about 100 faithful in a moment marked by faith, remembrance, and great joy.

As part of the celebrations for the feast of Saint Pedro Poveda, the Teresian Association's Council for Culture presented the document Towards an ecological conversion which seeks to ‘promote integral ecology as a way of life, in order to build a sustainable future’.
