The IMBISA Secretariat welcomes the news of his appointment with joy and would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Bishop Ernesto Maguengue on his appointment as well as the people of God in the Diocese of Inhambane, which now has a new pastor.
Bishop Ernesto , being a member of the Episcopal Conference of Mozambique, is the Bishop responsible for the Department of Education and the Family within the Conference, and has proved to be an active and committed Episcopal Head to the development of the Church and Society in general in this area.
