Beira, 28 January, 2021 / 1:36 pm (ACI Africa).
Faced with COVID-19 challenges, including restrictions, members of the Clergy are expected to “revitalize” in order to attend to the needs of the people of God under their pastoral care, a Catholic Priest ministering in Mozambique’s Maputo Archdiocese has told ACI Africa correspondent.
“The Mozambican Diocesan Clergy are called to stay up to date, since every man needs to revitalize himself so that his office is fruitful,” Fr. Salvador Muxlhanga said Tuesday, January 26
Fr. Muxlhanga who was speaking to ACI Africa correspondent in Mozambique on the sidelines of a five-day formation of “youthful” Diocesan Priests ministering in the Southern African nation added, “revitalization occurring in a group becomes much richer. Clearly, especially at this time, this represents a risk, linked to contagion, because we are a group in the same place.”
Fr. Muxlhanga is among 80 Diocesan Priests participating in an ongoing formation program at the Nazareth Centre for Religious and Pastoral Formation in Mozambique’s Archdiocese of Beira.
The formation, which takes place every three years, seeks to bring together members of the Clergy drawn from the 12 Catholic Dioceses of Mozambique ordained in the last ten years.
