History of FSA in Mozambique

In 2019, our Sisters in Brazil were invited by Bishop Hilario da Cruz Massinga to consider opening a mission in Maganja, Mozambique, Africa. Bishop Massinga became aware of the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany through his work with Nova Alianca, a ministry group based in Anapolis, Brazil with which the Allegany Franciscans have a long relationship.

​

On January 1, 2022, our Sisters Maria Abadia da Silva and Euripedes Irias dos Santos

departed Brazil for our new mission in Mozambique, Africa.

​

In early April 2022, Sisters Maria Abadia and Euripedes were joined in Mozambique

by Sr. Liliane Araujo Costa.
