Pereira Ribeiro (Dom António Manuel)
Original title: Pereira Ribeiro (D. António Manuel)
D. António Manuel Pereira Ribeiro, 28th bishop of Funchal from 1915, previously canon, teacher and capitular vicar in Funchal.
He is the present and 28th prelate of this diocese, which he has administered as bishop since 1915.
He was born in the parish (freguesia) of Friande, in the district of Braga, on 16 February 1879, the son of Duarte Pereira Dias Ribeiro and Dona Deolinda Rosa da Silva Pereira Ribeiro. He studied at the former College of São Fiel and completed his degree in the Faculty of Theology of the University of Coimbra (Universidade de Coimbra) in 1901, being ordained priest in October of the same year.
He was a teacher at the lyceum (state secondary school) of Viana do Castelo and vice-rector of the Seminary of Bragança. Presented to a canonry of Funchal Cathedral (the Sé) (Sé do Funchal), he took possession of this post in June 1905. In this city he taught at the Diocesan Seminary and was editor of the former periodical O Jornal (‘The Newspaper’).
When the diocesan bishop, Dom Manuel Agostinho Barreto, died on 26 June 1911, Canon Pereira Ribeiro was promptly elected capitular vicar of this bishopric by the cathedral chapter, a post he held until his elevation to the episcopate.
He was appointed prelate of this diocese by the Holy See on 2 October 1914 and received episcopal consecration in the city of Viana do Castelo on 7 February 1915. He arrived in Funchal on 7 March of the same year, and on the 14th of that month he took possession of the see and made his solemn entry into the Cathedral (Sé Catedral).
