The Catholic Church in Mozambique is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.
There are over 8.54 million Catholics in Mozambique,[1] 27% of the population.[2] The country is divided into twelve dioceses including three archdioceses.
The first mission was started by Portuguese Franciscans in 1500.[3]
In September 2022, ISIS-M attacked a Catholic mission in Nampula, killing an elderly missionary and burning down several structures.[4][5]
