Sendje Catholic Mission - Cuchi

From Porto to Cuchi, six missionaries were sent that year, who began to establish missions there.
Within a few years, the missionary zeal of those men had already spread the Redemptorist charisma throughout Angola, being sent every year new missionaries to accompany them.

On September 8, 2017, Father António Dumba told Jornal de Angola:

Father António Dumba highlighted that in the near future the rehabilitation of the Catholic missions of Capico (Caiundo), Sendje (Cuchi), Chamavera (Dirico) and Cuangar, which were destroyed during the armed conflict, is planned.
The rehabilitation of Catholic missions will be the responsibility of the Provincial Government of Cuando Cubango, taking into account that they were destroyed during the war that devastated the country, which is why the Catholic Church awaits with great expectation the recovery of all its infrastructures. -religious structures.
The Catholic missions, especially that of Sendje, recalled Father António Dumba, made a great contribution to the training of many cadres who are today leaders in the province of Cuando Cubango and in other regions of the country, as well as contributing to medical and medication assistance. to the population.
Catholic missions in their context have always been a place of formation for the dignity of the human person. For this reason, these religious infrastructures cannot only be seen as places of faith, but also of training qualified staff and providing health care.

Há necessidade de o Executivo angolano e em particular o Governo Provincial do Cuando Cubango olhar para a reabilitação das missões católicas como um elemento fundamental que pode ajudar no regaste dos valores culturais, cívicos e morais, tendo em vista que sempre foram lugares apropriados para a formação e orientação de como a pessoa se deve comportar em sociedade.
A recuperação destas infra-estruturas religiosas pode ser também uma mais-valia para o aumento da oferta de locais turísticos na província e, consequentemente, contribuir para a arrecadação de mais receitas para os cofres do Estado.
É necessário que o Governo Provincial do Cuando Cubango, no quadro do seu programa de investimento público (PIP), priorize também a reabilitação e construção de infra-estruturas religiosas em todos os municípios.
