“Chego, não para iniciar uma obra que me pertence, mas para servir a que é de Deus” (c/vídeo)

The new bishop of the Algarve began his ministry during an Eucharist held at the Faro Cathedral on the morning of September 19, 2026.

During his homily, the bishop stated that he arrives as a successor to the Apostles to serve the work of God rather than to start a personal project.
