David joins Mozambique mission

Father David is joining a missionary team in the Diocese of Tete, Mozambique, following a sending Mass held after he received his visa. He will work alongside a group of missionaries ranging in age from 40 to 90.

The priest began preparing for this assignment eighteen months ago after proposing to join the mission through the IEME. After receiving approval from Bishop Jesús Catalá and later Bishop José Antonio Satué, he underwent training that included visits to missionaries in Zambia and a course in Madrid. He also studied Portuguese in Lisbon.

David stated that his desire to serve in mission work began in primary school. While he previously offered to serve in Venezuela, he chose the Mozambique mission after social circumstances there became complicated. He intends to serve the territory of the Tete diocese alongside the existing missionary team.
