The Catholic Archdiocese Nampula in Mozambique is in solidarity with persons affected by floods in the Southern African nation, the Local Ordinary, Archbishop Inácio Saúre, has said.
In his Tuesday, March 26 anticipated Chrism Mass that is traditionally celebrated on Holy Thursday, Archbishop Saúre said, “Heavy rains caused a lot of suffering to various families and fellow citizens of ours here in the Archdiocese of Nampula, but also in almost the entire south of the country.”
“Many of these brothers and sisters of ours have lost much of what they had and are facing very difficult situations,” the Mozambican Catholic Archbishop noted during the Eucharistic celebration at Our Lady of Fatima Cathedral of his Metropolitan See.
He said, “I would like, on behalf of the Archdiocese, to express our solidarity with all the people and families who are going through painful and distressing times because of the floods.”
Archbishop Saúre invited the people of God under his pastoral care to reach out to those affected by the floods, saying, “We realize that at this difficult time, it is essential that we all show solidarity and charity in order to alleviate the suffering of our brothers and sisters.”
