Bishop Peter Musikuwa of Chikwawa Diocese in Malawi has told over 400 Catholic students from  Institutions of higher learning in Malawi to be exemplary in all that they do.

The Catholic students met this week at Salima Technical College in the lakeshore district of Salima for a two-days conference organised by the National Movement of Catholic Students (NMCS).

Speaking during the closing Mass,  Bishop Musikuwa, who is the Bishop-in-charge of the youth ministry in Malawi, challenged the young people always to remember that the future of Malawi and that of the Church was in their hands. He challenged them to be exemplary and conscientious in everything they did. The Bishop urged the students to be at the service of their faith, Church and nation.

During the two days, the students took the time to reflect on various Church teachings and were encouraged to familiarise themselves with Church documents such as Pope Francis’ “Laudato sì” and also the recent pastoral statement that was issued by the Bishops of Malawi on the state of the nation.

Malawi first-ever female Solicitor  General and Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Justice,  Dr Janet Banda was the guest of honour. She told the students to have great reverence for the Word of God.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of everything. If you want to succeed in your life and as a student, first fear the Lord,” Dr Banda, a Catholic told the students.

She also gave testimony to her Catholic faith and how it influences her life as a person.

Towards the end of the gathering, the students elected a new executive that will now be led by Emanuel Kafulafula of Malawi’s College of Medicine. He was elected new national president of the prestigious students’ body.
