Núncio Apostólico presides Eucharist at Diocese of Beja's Dia Diocesano 2026
First source report
The Apostolic Nuncio to Portugal presided over the Eucharist at the Beja Cathedral to conclude the 2026 Diocesan Day. Approximately 300 people from all deaneries attended the event held at the Beja Seminary under the theme "Beja, Walking in Hope – Communion, Participation, and Mission."
During the morning prayer at the Chapel of Our Lady of Fatima, Bishop Fernando Paiva blessed and sent out missionary teams for upcoming pastoral visits. These teams will visit local communities to introduce the bishop, contact families door-to-door, and encourage community participation in the visits.
In his welcome remarks, Bishop Paiva thanked participants for coming from across the large territory and described the gathering as a sign of the diocese acting as a single family.
