The Bishops of Cape Verde’s Catholic Dioceses of Santiago and Mindelo who meet at the same Episcopal conference with their peers from Mauritania, Guinea Bissau and Senegal are looking into ways in which they can collaborate to address problems that are specific to their country.
In their inaugural Cape Verdean meeting that was held between May 28-29, Arlindo Cardinal Gomes Furtado of Santiago and Bishop Ildo Fortes of Mindelo agreed on the need to have what they described as “the First National Council of the Bishops of Cape Verde” so as to be meeting as two dioceses.
