Bishop of Angra presides over 218th anniversary of cathedral dedication

Bishop Armando Esteves Domingues presided over the Mass celebrating the 218th anniversary of the dedication of the cathedral in Angra on Sunday, October 18.

During his homily, Bishop Domingues stated that the true meaning of the temple's dedication is found in how the Christian community witnesses the Gospel through the welcoming and recognition of the dignity of every person, specifically mentioning the poor, migrants, the elderly, the sick, and the youth. He noted that the cathedral should be a home for all and emphasized that the Church is a people called to become a living house of God.

The celebration included the Cabido Catedralício and the Ouvidoria of Angra. Bishop Domingues remarked that Jesus must remain at the center of the Church's mission and the center of the lives of all people.
