The new Catholic Bishop in Malawi, Rt. Rev. Vincent Mwakhwawa has highlighted the need for the youth to respond to their vocations in accordance with what their hearts suggest.

Bishop Mwakhwawa made the sentiments on Sunday 28th January 2023 at St. Paul Parish in Nkhotakota during his thanksgiving Mass at his home village as Auxiliary Bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lilongwe.

His Lordship urged the youth to be careful when making their decisions citing that there are dangers that come after failing to respond to their calling.

The Lilongwe Archdiocese auxiliary bishop among others shared his joy for being at his home parish with family and friends to thank God for the gift of leadership which was given to him.

“This was really great day where I had to come here at my home parish in Nkhotakota to offer thanksgiving mass for the leadership in the church and the gift to the church,” said Bishop Mwakhwawa.

Rt. Rev. Vincent Fredrick Mwakhwawa was consecrated as Auxiliary Bishop of Lilongwe on 20th January 2024 at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe.
