A two-day Lenten recollection for the Local Clergy in Zomba Diocese has ended today 02/03/24 at Thondwe Pastoral Centre in the Diocese.
Speaking at the end of the recollection, Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Alfred Mateyu Chaima, urged the priests to embrace such recollections as opportune moments to energise themselves spiritually and set a good example to the people that they minister.
The main preacher at the recollection was Fr. Andrew Chikapa, the parish priest for Pirimiti.
