Lesotho’s Major Seminary Lauded for 100 Years of Forming Evangelizers

The Mozambican Priest who has previously served as the Coordinator of IMBISA Pastoral Department emphasized the Seminary’s enduring presence as a testament to God’s guidance and inspiration.

Fr. Sapato expressed gratitude to those who envisioned and established the Seminary, to those who have maintained it over the years, and to those currently contributing to its mission. He also praised the seminarians as the foundation of the institution’s purpose and future.

The member of the Clergy of Mozambique’s Lichinga Diocese called on the faithful in the IMBISA region that comprises Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, São Tomé and Príncipe, South Africa, and Zimbabwe to join in prayers for the Seminary's continued success.

“We ask the owner of the vineyard to continue blessing the Seminary of Roma, the Church of Lesotho, the Episcopal Conference of Catholic Bishops of Lesotho, the Seminary’s Staff Team, its teaching staff, support staff, and seminarians,” Fr. Sapato said.

He added, “We invite the Major Seminary of Rome to pray for the Golden Jubilee of IMBISA, which will have its concluding celebration on Sunday, 28th September 2025 in Manzini, Kingdom of Eswatini.”
