Missionário Shalom (or simply abbreviated as MSH) is a Brazilian pop-rock band of Catholic music, founded in 1998 in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. The group is linked to the Shalom Catholic Community, present in over 40 countries.[1] MSH is recognized for its mission to evangelize youth through music, performing at major events such as the Halleluya Festival and the World Youth Day (WYD).

The group

According to the Shalom Catholic Community website, the group was initially created as the "Missionary Music Ministry" with the aim of pursuing a bold evangelization strategy suited to contemporary realities. Another goal was to spread the Shalom charisma throughout Brazil and beyond.[1]

The band gained international prominence by participating in World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid and World Youth Day 2013 in Rio de Janeiro, where they released their album 180 Graus.[2] In 2018, celebrating 20 years, MSH collaborated with Sister Cristina Scuccia, winner of The Voice Italy 2014, on the single "Eis-me Aqui," recorded live at the Halleluya Festival. The song, a preparation for World Youth Day 2019 in Panama, surpassed 230,000 YouTube views in its first week.[3]

In 2023, MSH released "Há Pressa no Ar" at the Halleluya Festival, featuring Ana Gabriela and Ziza Fernandes.[4] In 2024, their album Fogo, with the single "Enfermo de Amor," captivated over 500,000 people at the Halleluya Festival in Fortaleza.[5] Later that year, in December, Francisco Jackson (Chico) joined as a vocalist.[6]

Currently, MSH remains one of the most notable Catholic music groups, performing across Brazil and internationally.
