e, Xaverian Missionaries, arrived in Mozambique in 1992 as a response to the request made by the bishops seeking help for this war-devastated country (following the war for independence and civil war that lasted 20 years, 1972-92). The Church in Mozambique has a missionary structure (church, school, and cooperatives) catering to education and social needs as well as to religious ones.

Our work in Mozambique is evangelization as we gradually take root in the diocese, getting to know the local language, culture, religion, etc. in view of offering our service according to our Charism. We are also creating new Christian communities, and forming church leaders and catechists so that they in turn may become witnesses, missionaries and founders of new Christian communities; organizing youth groups, the catechumenate, and human  promotion.
