Malawian Diocese Holds Fundraiser for Seminarians Formation, Appeals for Support amid Economic Hardships
First source report
The Catholic Archdiocese of Lilongwe held a fundraiser to support the formation of seminarians and novices during a period of economic hardship in Malawi.
During a homily at Our Lady of Africa – Maula Cathedral on Saturday, October 24, Auxiliary Bishop Vincent Frederick Mwakhwawa asked the faithful for continued generosity to prepare candidates for priestly ministry. The bishop noted that families in the country are struggling to meet basic needs due to the current economic climate.
Bishop Mwakhwawa said that these difficult circumstances serve as a test of faith and an opportunity for Christians to demonstrate their devotion through sacrifice for the Church. He stated that supporting those in formation is a way for the community to remain faithful to God even during low moments.
