Catholic Youth Association congress unites nine deaneries in Masvingo

From 6–8 August, the youth from all nine deaneries of the Catholic Diocese of Masvingo came together for a congress to pray, learn and share their faith at St Patrick’s, Gokomere Mission.

Together, they prayed, reflected and shared in fellowship, guided by the diocesan priests, religious sisters and youth leaders who were present.

One of the highlights was a Holy Mass celebrated by Rt. Rev. Bishop Raymond T. Mupa, during which the youth were blessed with a spiritually enriching homily.

The congress was full of life, with activities ranging from ball games, dancing and singing to engaging Bible quizzes. Beyond the activities, the congress created space for meaningful friendships. The youth met, shared ideas and encouraged one another.

They also took part in spiritual talks, counselling sessions, open discussions and question-and-answer sessions, all of which helped deepen their understanding of their faith and encouraged them to reflect more meaningfully on their relationship with God and the Church.

“This congress has helped me grow deeper in my faith. I had the opportunity to meet fellow young Catholics and form new friendships. It has been a truly enriching and memorable experience,” said Tatenda, one of the delighted young participants.

The congress may have come to an end, but the journey continues. The youth left inspired, connected and renewed, ready to carry their faith and the spirit of fellowship back to their parishes.

The celebration of the 25th Priestly Anniversary of our beloved Rt. Rev. Bishop Raymond T. Mupa was a resounding success!

The celebration was graced by the Apostolic Nuncio to Zimbabwe Archbishop Janusz S. Urbanczyk, Bishop Rudolf Nyandoro of Gweru Diocese. The Hon. Vice President Constantino G. Chiwenga (who recently became a full member of the St Joseph Guild) also joined in the celebrations. This Silver Jubilee was one of its kind as we saw a lot of priests, religious brothers and sisters and lay faithful from the 8 Dioceses of Zimbabwe and beyond.

We are delighted to share the beautiful memories from this special celebration. Stay tuned as we upload more pictures throughout the week.
