Current status: Radio Maria Mozambique was born in 1995. It was the second Radio Maria station to be inaugurated in Africa. However, until 2022, its radio signal was confined to the archdiocese of Maputo, namely to the dioceses of Xai Xai and Inhambane. In response to the bishop of Quelimane’s appeal, with great joy, the first substation was inaugurated in December 2022. Fortunately, the radio signal from the city of Quelimane reaches more than 200 km away. To continue the expansion of the Radio Maria Mozambique network, H.E. Msgr. Diamantino Guapo Antunes, I.M.C.of Tete, asked World Family of Radio Maria to turn his diocesan radio into a Radio Maria station.

Project: To turn the diocesan radio station into a Radio Maria station. This requires a major effort, to recruit competent staff, starting with the priest director, to organise training and install new quality radio equipment. In 2021, the vast diocese of Tete (100,715 km²) only had 47 priests. This is why Radio Maria is needed here. 70,000 Euros are needed to start the project.
