“The only thing I took out of there was a small suitcase, thinking I would return in a few days, so everything, even the documents, were destroyed,” said Father Rodrigues de Brito.
Then he indicated: “The only thing that was saved, thank God, was the Blessed Sacrament and the books of sacraments, baptisms and marriages, which I had brought with me, and the Blessed Sacrament that was in the chapel of the mission headquarters, which I managed to take with me when I escaped.”
The parish of Our Lady of Africa in Mazeze is the headquarters of the social project “Window to the Future“, and during the attack some of the equipment used to implement the project was destroyed, including sewing machines.
