Núncio Apostólico D. Andrés Carrascosa Coso presides Eucharist in Viseu Cathedral

Apostolic Nuncio to Portugal Andrés Carrascosa Coso presided a Mass at Viseu Cathedral on October 4 during a visit to the Diocese of Viseu.

During the liturgy, Carrascosa Coso told the faithful that the diocese needs everyone to fulfill their responsibilities and bear fruit. He stated that the world requires Christians to bring Christ into the world rather than remaining only inside churches. He also called for synodal work through the active participation of laypeople, noting that priests will need to decentralize tasks and delegate more as the process of synodality continues. He added that laypeople must be trained to assume these responsibilities.

The nuncio visited the diocese from October 3 to October 5, meeting with clergy, laypeople, and members of consecrated life, including Concepcionist nuns, to learn about the local reality.
