Diocese of Viseu gathers 45 EMRC teachers

About 45 teachers of Moral and Religious Catholic Education (EMRC) met at the Viseu Seminary on Saturday, October 24, to prepare for the 2026/2027 school year. The gathering allowed educators to share experiences and plan activities for the upcoming academic term.

Abel Dias, a teacher, stated the meeting aimed to plan subject activities to support the educational mission and help make schools spaces for humanization and hope. The director of the Diocesan Secretariat for Christian Education in Viseu noted that EMRC teachers intend to help students understand that progress involves both knowledge and the ability to care for others.

During the meeting, Bishop António Luciano of Viseu spoke to the teachers about the role of schools in helping new generations seek truth and consider the meaning of life and human dignity. The bishop referenced the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas.
