Every Catholic Called to Mission as Malawi Launches World Mission Sunday Centenary

Bishop Peter Adrian Chifukwa called on all Catholics to embrace missionary responsibilities during the launch of the World Mission Sunday centenary celebrations in Malawi on October 3. Speaking at Mzuzu Stadium, the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Dedza stated that every member of the Church, including parents, priests, religious, catechists, and students, is called to spread the Gospel through their daily lives and relationships.

The event also marked the launch of the 2026–2030 National Strategic Plan for the Association of Diocesan Catholic Clergy of Malawi (ADCCOM). As Vice President of the Malawi Conference of Catholic Bishops, Bishop Chifukwa noted that the Church currently has few indicators to assess its growth as a Christian community. He described the celebration as the beginning of a new journey intended to foster a more missionary identity within the Church in Malawi for the next century.
