in 2012 the situation of the city of god neighborhood proper had also changed and it was felt the need to give the congregation a new identity, which would better represent its roots.

it was at this time that it finally got the current designation - the official colors are the white and blue and the emblem is the rooster.

the samba school g.r.e.s mocidade unida da cidade de deus maintains an webpage here, and a facebook page on this link.
