Early life

He was born in Praia, Cape Verde.

Career

He joined the congregation of the Holy Fathers and on December 16, 1962, was ordained by Pope Paul VI. On April 21, 1975, he became the 33rd bishop of Santiago de Cabo Verde.

The bishop of Malanje, Eduardo André Muaca on June 1 bestowed the episcopal ordination, with Francisco Esteves Dias, OSB, Bishop of Luso (now Lwena) and Zacarias Kamwenho, Archbishop of Luanda.

On December 9, 2003, his diocese's areas were reduced to the Sotavento Islands as the Barlavento Islands became part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mindelo due to population growth.

One of the last project of building churches in his diocese was Nossa Senhora de Fátima (Our Lady of Fatima) church in Milho Branco. He laid the foundation stone on May 10, 2009. It was opened three years later after he retired as bishop.

He remained bishop until July 22, 2009. He was succeeded by Arlindo Gomes Furtado. He died on 16 June 2019.[2]
