In the church newspaper for the Archdiocese of Cologne (issue 24/2025), Deacon Hanno Sprissler explains his perspective on the mystery of the divine Trinity, to which this church in Mosteiro is dedicated, as follows: "But doesn't every spiritual person actually have a very personal image of the divine, sometimes more personal, sometimes more abstract? How helpful is the Trinity in this, which offers us various relationships!

+ Most people should be able to understand God the Father as the Creator God: the origin of all being, as that which existed before everything else and from which everything else came.

+ While seeing God in Jesus Christ as a human being is associated with apparent contradictions, it has the great advantage that this essence is very close to ours. Jesus is the declaration of God's love made human!

+ (...) fits very well with the Holy Spirit, who for many people of our time is an abstract, unimaginable, and transcendent force that works in and through us, that strengthens us, and is available always and everywhere" (Deacon Hanno Sprissler)

The parish of Mosteiro, located on the southwest coast of the island of Flores, is known for its impressive basalt cliffs and rich pastures. The local population preserves a unique landscape heritage. Highlights include the parish church of the Holy Trinity, an empire of the Divine Holy Spirit, and abandoned water mills.
