The Mozambique mission began in March 2018, with MSCs from Brazil ministering in the Pemba diocese – an area of extreme poverty and hardship, where up until that point, local families had no access to church infrastructure or pastoral ministry.

Our MSCs have been tireless in their work to bring about positive changes for local communities, in spite of a number of serious challenges, including the impact of two devastating cyclones which took place just six weeks apart, a year and a half after the mission began.
MSC missionaries had already been working to rebuild struggling communities in the area before the cyclones hit, and in the wake of these disasters, they continued to help those who had lost friends and family members in the disasters, as well as over 21,000 people who had been left homeless.

Our MSC missionaries have been helping local families to rebuild their lives and livelihoods over the past four years, continuing in their mission to share the message of God’s love in this area of real need. The strength, resilience, and spirit demonstrated by local communities is an inspiration to behold, and days such as these provide much-needed encouragement and motivation to all involved in the mission. This wonderful day of celebration in Metuge has been a great success for the local community; with blessings and good wishes to our MSC brothers and all who took part!
