Apostolic Movements in Mozambique Told to Shun Divisions, to Embrace Diversity and Strengthen Collaboration

Bishop António Manuel Bogaio Constantino of the Diocese of Caia urged members of apostolic movements to prioritize unity and mutual respect to support the evangelizing mission of the Church. During the closing Mass of the first diocesan pilgrimage of these movements at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fátima of Murraça on October 25, the bishop called for collaboration to prevent divisions that might weaken the pastoral work of the diocese.

Bishop Bogaio stated that while each movement should maintain its specific charism and mission, these activities must not compromise the unity of the Church. He encouraged the groups to strengthen their connections with local parishes, missionary teams, and the diocesan pastor to better participate in pastoral ministry.
