There is need for more and more Clergy and women and men Religious to participate in the worldwide mission of the Church, the Provincial Superior of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) in Angola has said.
In his homily during the closing Mass of the November 5-6 Provincial Assembly of the SVD members in Angola, Fr. Nelson Manuel Hebo underscored the Church’s need for dedicated personnel, willing to be at the service of the Lord.
“The mission needs more laborers. We need more Priests, missionaries, and Religious people willing to dedicate themselves to Consecrated Life and to serve the Lord,” Fr. Hebo said during the Wednesday, November 6 Eucharistic celebration that was held at the SVD Provincial House in Terra Nova in Luanda.
To realize this need, “vocation animation is essential”, the Angolan Provincial Superior of the SVD, also referred to as Divine Word Missionaries, said.
He challenged the SVD members in Angola to recognize the universal nature of their calling as missionaries.
