Father Vicente Berenguer served in Mozambique from 1967 until his retirement in 2023, standing out for his courage and dedication to the cause of justice, particularly by denouncing to the world the Wiriyamu Massacre, which occurred in Tete on December 16, 1972, in which more than 300 defenceless Mozambicans perished.
During his long stay in Mozambique, Father Vicente Berenger made an invaluable contribution to education, supporting the construction of school infrastructure and the education of disadvantaged children, driven by the conviction that human education is the main weapon for the country’s development.
His work was widely recognized, and he received several international distinctions for his commitment to the common good.
