New Bishop of Algarve Takes Office on September 19th

Jornal do Algarve12 September 2026 at 10:11

The new bishop of Algarve, Vitorino José Pereira Soares, takes canonical possession on September 19th, at a ceremony scheduled for 11:30am, at the Cathedral Sé of Faro. The celebration will take place in what is described as the central place of Algarve's Christian history, beginning a new chapter and projecting the community into the future.

The ceremony brings together communities, families, priests, deacons, consecrated persons, laypeople and representatives of institutions, at a moment considered significant for the life of the Algarve Church, the Diocese of Algarve stated in a press release.

Vitorino José Pereira Soares was Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Porto and was appointed Bishop of Algarve by Pope Leo XIV on July 14th, succeeding Manuel Neto Quintas.

Why this matters

Readers in the Algarve now have a new regional religious leader, whose mandate may influence the pastoral direction and priorities of the Diocese in the coming years. The ceremony marks the start of a new leadership that will directly affect local Catholic communities and their activities. The appointment follows the departure of Manuel Neto Quintas, representing a significant change in the religious structure of the region.

Chapel of the Remedies

The Chapel of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, at the site of Moreno in Santa Cruz, Madeira, celebrates its long community tradition since its founding in 1690 by canon Manuel Ferreira Teixeira Caiado. The article describes the annual feast on 8 September, the celebration of the 300th anniversary in 1990 with the presence of the bishop of Funchal, and recalls the theft of the 19th-century sacred image in 2018, replaced by a replica in 2020. The text highlights the chapel's role in preserving the community's identity and memory over more than three centuries.

Understand: Is a closed buzios reading negative or positive?

The article explains that in the Afro-Brazilian tradition's buzios reading, when the reading is "closed," it doesn't always mean something negative. It presents the concepts of Àláàfíà (a positive condition and balance), Insobù (a negative situation or impediment), and Òpìrà (another type of closure with a different reading), clarifying that even with a closed reading, there can be Iré—that is, a positive condition—depending on the configuration presented.
