Patrícia Oom, better known as Tita, was born in Lisbon. Born into a large family, from a young age she had a strong vocation for caring for infants and children.

Tita is an active participant in “Missão País”, where she was first a field volunteer, then a board member for the national team, and finally National Director in 2022. She has been a summer camp monitor at SAIREF and a tutor at Schoenstatt, a Catholic movement to which she has been connected since childhood.
