Dom Luiz Mancilha Vilela, SS.CC.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Luiz Mancilha Vilela was born on May 6, 1942, in Pouso Alto, in the south of Minas Gerais. At the age of 19, he professed his temporary vows in the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts in Pindamonhangaba, S\u00e3o Paulo. Six years later, on December 21, 1968, he was ordained a priest in Belo Horizonte by the then archbishop of the Minas Gerais capital, Dom Serafim Fernandes de Ara\u00fajo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After his ordination, Dom Luiz served as coordinator of Vocational Pastoral Care in the Province of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts, provincial councilor, and superior of the Sacred Hearts Seminary in Pindamonhangaba, S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On December 3, 1985, Pope John Paul II appointed Luiz Mancilha Vilela as bishop of Cachoeiro do Itapemerim-ES. His episcopal ordination took place on February 22, 1986, and Dom Luiz remained there for 17 years. In 2002, he went to the capital, Vit\u00f3ria, as auxiliary bishop, and two years later, on April 14, 2004, he was appointed archbishop of Vit\u00f3ria, a position he held until his retirement in November 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since then, as Archbishop Emeritus, Dom Luiz remained residing in the Archdiocese of Vit\u00f3ria, carrying out some religious activities. Throughout his life he wrote several works, among them: "Pray With Me", "In the Footsteps of Jesus" and "Visit to the Sanctuary of Health and Peace", where he recounts, in poetic phrases, every detail of the Church of Father Eust\u00e1quio in Belo Horizonte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" O arcebispo em\u00e9rito de Vit\u00f3ria-ES, Dom Luiz Mancilha Vilela, de 80 anos, estava internado desde o dia 23 de julho no Hospital Unimed Vit\u00f3ria, para tratar de complica\u00e7\u00f5es hep\u00e1ticas.
