Catholic Church at its finest—alive, joyful, and deeply rooted in community.
_________________

On the 19th of April 2026, the faithful of St Elizabeth Parish, Mamaneng, offered a truly remarkable and heartwarming welcome to His Grace, Archbishop Dabula Anthony Mpako of the Archdiocese of Pretoria during his pastoral visit. The atmosphere was vibrant with faith, unity, and reverence, reflecting a parish that understands both the spiritual and communal significance of receiving its shepherd.
From the moment of his arrival, it was evident that this was no ordinary occasion.

The parishioners, dressed in coordinated attire and guided by careful planning, demonstrated a level of organization that spoke volumes about their dedication and love for the Church. Songs of praise filled the air, traditional expressions of joy were on full display, and every detail—from the procession to the reception—was executed with admirable precision.

Under the pastoral leadership of Fr. Anthony Mwafulirwa, St Elizabeth Parish has clearly nurtured a strong sense of belonging and active participation among its members.

This was not just a welcome; it was a testimony of a living Church—one that celebrates its identity and mission with pride.
The joy on the faces of the faithful told its own story. Parishioners, young and old, gathered with genuine excitement and gratitude, eager to receive their Archbishop.

Their enthusiasm reflected a deep appreciation for the presence of their Bishop, a symbol of unity and apostolic continuity within the Church.

The Archbishop’s visit was not only pastoral in nature but also affirming. It strengthened the bond between the shepherd and his flock, while showcasing the vibrancy of a parish committed to faith, service, and togetherness.

Indeed, what unfolded at St Elizabeth Parish was more than a ceremony—it was a powerful witness to the beauty of Catholicism lived out in community.

BISHOP MTUMBUKA CELEBRATES EASTER MASS AT ST. LUKE KANGINDWA, ANNOUNCES NEW SECONDARY SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM

Today, on the third Sunday of Easter, Bishop Martin Anwel Mtumbuka celebrated Mass with Christians from St. Luke (Kangindwa) Outstation in St. Steven Parish, Karonga.

Bishop Mtumbuka opened Mass with brief remarks on the day’s Scripture readings. He invited the faithful to recall moments when they had felt let down or disappointed by pain caused by difficulties within their families, personal lives, and neighborhoods. The Bishop explained that the liturgy of the day reminds Christians that Jesus walks with them through every hardship, just as He did with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.

Delivering his homily, Bishop Mtumbuka called on the faithful to remain steadfast in their faith and to always remember the power of prayer.

“I know that some of us are depressed because of financial, health, and personal reasons, but I call on you to pray just like the two disciples of Emmaus who said: Come, Lord Jesus, because it is dark,” the Bishop said.

During the Eucharistic celebration, Bishop Mtumbuka also announced plans to construct a Secondary School in Ngana, within the area of Group Village Head Mwandambo, T/A Mwakaboko, Karonga. The project will be funded by the Italian Conference of Catholic Bishops CEI - Conferenza Episcopale Italiana According to the Bishop, the school is expected to feature four classrooms, an administration block, two teachers’ houses, sanitation facilities, and a solar-powered water system.

In addition to the school, the Bishop revealed the introduction of the Community Transformation Program in the area. The Cross Catholic Outreach funded program encompasses multiple projects aimed at holistic development, including initiatives in agriculture, health, nutrition, education, economic empowerment, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).

Speaking after the Eucharistic celebration, Group Village Head Mwandambo thanked Bishop Mtumbuka for considering his area for both the secondary school and the new program. He noted that their community is located in one of the most hard to reach areas in the region, making access to development initiatives extremely difficult. However, with the diocese’s intervention, he expressed confidence that the area will finally see meaningful progress.
