The Diocese of Setúbal begins celebrations for the centenary of the birth of Bishop Manuel Martins

The Diocese of Setúbal has started a year of celebrations to mark the centenary of the birth of Bishop Manuel Martins. The project is led by the D. Manuel Martins Foundation and includes a book and an exhibition titled "Faça-se luz."

The foundation intends for the year of commemoration to encourage the local territory to focus on community building, attentiveness, and addressing the concrete needs of people. The program will also include a tribute to Professor Eugénio Fonseca, who died in August.

Bishop Martins served as the bishop of the Setúbal diocese from its creation until 1998. He previously served in Matosinhos.
