Together in prayer in Mozambique

In early February, MSCs on our Mozambique mission celebrated Mass with the community of St Augustine, in the parish of Saint Anthony in Metuge.

As there is no church in the area, Masses and prayers were celebrated by our MSCs in families’ homes, with a great spirit of unity and togetherness. God’s love is a hugely compelling factor for these families and communities, and they celebrate their faith in any and every way possible, given the lack of facilities in the region.

Just a few weeks earlier, the community in Metuge had a wonderful day in the celebration of several sacraments, including confessions, baptisms, First Holy Communions, and marriages. Once again, all of these events took place outdoors in the shade of the trees, with an enormous sense of unity and community.

Now in its fourth year, the MSC Mozambique mission has celebrated with local communities in times of joy, and has walked with them and helped them rebuild in the wake of natural disasters. Our MSC missionaries continue to make the love of the Sacred Heart known in this area of real need; please keep our MSC missionaries and people they serve in your prayers.
