It has its origins in the Brazilian organization Tradition, Family, and Property of which Joao Cla was a member for 40 years before founding his own congregation with the faction of the TFP that followed him after the death of TFP founder Plinio Correa de Olivera for whom Dias acted as a personal secretary. |

Joao Cla Dias was considered as a more radicalized member of the TFP promoting ideas such as "holy slavery" to the founder. He was known widely for is ruthless elimination of all competition with his leadership in the organization. During the period of the TFP's existence combatting the self-managing socialism of Francois Mitterand, Mr. Dias was widely suspected in the organization of suborning money for his own purposes along with American TFP director Luis Antonio Fragelli who later split with Dias over how, and to whom, the diviated money would be appropriated. |

The Heralds of the Gospel (also known as the Evangelii Praecones, abbreviated to EP)[1] is a Roman Catholic International Association of Pontifical Right based in Brazil.[2] Founded by Msgr. João Scognamiglio Clá Dias, the organization is active in fifty-seven countries.[3]
History
The Heralds of the Gospel is an International Association of Pontifical Right, the first established by the Holy See in the third millennium, on the liturgical feast of the Chair of St. Peter, February 22nd, 2001.
Comprised mainly of young people, this Association is established in 57 countries. Its members practice celibacy, and are entirely dedicated to apostolate, living in separate houses designated for young men and young women. Their life of recollection, study and prayer alternates with evangelizing activities in dioceses and parishes, with special emphasis placed on the formation of youth.
Spirituality
Three essential pillars: The spirituality of the Heralds is based on three essential points: The Eucharist, the Virgin Mary and the Pope. These points are represented in the emblem that distinguishes them.
Their charism leads them to strive for perfection, while always searching for the pulchritude in all their daily actions, even in the most private ones.
Music
Seeing in culture and art efficacious tools of evangelization, the Heralds characteristically place special emphasis on both choral and instrumental music. Hence, the Heralds have formed various choirs and symphonic bands to bring their message of faith, incentive and confidence to today’s humanity.
The principal musical ensemble of these neo-evangelizers – the International Choir and Symphonic Band – was started in São Paulo with members united from diverse nations. This musical ensemble has traveled numerous cities, states, countries and continents, giving presentations in churches, auditoriums and stadiums full of people thirsting for beauty and spirituality.
