Life

Luciano José Cabral Duarte was the son of José de Góes Duarte and Célia Cabral. He was baptized in the Diocesan Cathedral, in Aracaju, on February 7, 1925.

He studied at the School of Apprentice Crafts, then Technical School, now IFS, before joining the Minor Seminary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the age of 11. He was always the first in the class. In 1942, he moved to the Seminary of Olinda, in Pernambuco. In February 1945 he transferred to St. Leopold (Rio Grande do Sul) where he completed the ecclesiastical studies necessary to become a priest.

He was ordained to the priesthood on January 18, 1948. On July 14, 1966, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Aracajú and titular bishop of Gadiaufala. Palmeira Lessa received his episcopal consecration on the following October 2 from José Vicente Távora, archbishop of Aracajú, with the bishop of Estância, José Bezerra Coutinho, and the bishop of Propriá, José Brandão de Castro, serving as co-consecrators. He took the motto "Scio Cui Credidi". On February 12, 1971, he was appointed archbishop of Aracajú. He retired on August 26, 1998, and was succeeded by José Palmeira Lessa.

Cabral Duarte lived at his residence in Aracaju, due to his fragile state of health, until he died in the afternoon of May 29, 2018, at the age of 93.^[3][4][5]
