Muslims destroyed their church, but Catholics still go there on Sundays

(ZENIT News / Mocímboa da Praia, Mozambique, 07.02.2024).- Four years after Islamist extremists destroyed their church, Catholics in a north-east Mozambique parish are still gathering around the ruins every Sunday to pray and “give thanks to God”.

The faith of the Christian community in Muslim-majority Mocímboa da Praia remains strong despite no priests or religious being left in the town, catechist Vicente Gabriel from Pemba Diocese told Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).

Violent clashes between jihadist insurgents seeking to establish a hard-line Islamic state and the Mozambique Defence Armed Forces have been ongoing in Cabo Delgado Province since October 2017, killing thousands and displacing more than a million people.
