Malawi to Celebrate World Mission Sunday Centenary

Malawi will celebrate the national centenary of World Mission Sunday at Mzuzu Stadium on Saturday, October 3, 2026. The event, themed “One in Christ, United in Mission,” is part of a series of missionary and pastoral activities organized by the Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) Malawi.

Msgr. Dinh Anh Nhue Nguyen, Secretary General of the Pontifical Missionary Union, arrives in Malawi on September 30, 2026, for a pastoral visit on behalf of the Holy Father. He will travel to Katete Parish to participate in a Mass marking the start of World Mission Month in Malawi. This celebration will launch the month of activities leading up to the national centenary event.

The centenary year also includes a formation course for instructors of minor and major seminaries, which took place at St. Peter Major Seminary in the Diocese of Zomba.
