Diocese of Dedza Marks World Mission Sunday Centenary

Monsignor John Chithonje led a Holy Mass at Sharpevale Catholic Primary School to mark the centenary of World Mission Sunday for the Diocese of Dedza. Children and youth from the parish participated in the liturgy, including the recitation of the Mission Rosary by members of the St. Charles and St. Bernadette groups. Altar servers from St. Kizito and St. Stephen, along with altar girls from St. Maria Goretti and St. Teresa, released centenary balloons during the service.

The congregation contributed to the Universal Solidarity Fund for the Propagation of the Faith. Sharpevale Church provided K1,500,000.00, while the St. Bernadette and St. Charles groups gave over K30,000.00. Younger children in the Maria Goretti and Payomo Holy Childhood groups raised more than K20,000.00. These amounts helped the parish meet its targets of K30,000.00 per Small Christian Community and K10,000.00 per group.
