Catholic Members of Parliament (MPs) on Tuesday this week donated assorted food items to Mother Teresa’s orphanage in Lilongwe. The centre is run by the Missionaries of Charity Sisters.

Speaking on behalf of the MPs, leader of the Catholic community in the Malawi National Assembly, Francis Kasaila said as Catholics they wanted to join the rest of the Catholic faithful in this Year of Mercy by doing charitable works.

“You know this is the Year of Mercy as it has been declared by our Pope, Pope Francis and as a Catholic community at parliament, we thought that we do something in order to support those that need our support,” said Kasaila who is Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) representative for Nsanje Central Constituency.

He said after thorough consultation with their chaplain, they decided to make a donation to the Missionaries of Charity Sisters who are taking care of the orphans.

“This is just a small donation of course otherwise; we know that these Sisters need a lot of support from well-wishers and people of goodwill. They need quite a lot in order to care for these children,” he said.

Speaking on behalf of the Community, Sr. Mira commended the parliamentarians for their generosity and kind gesture by donating to the orphanage.

“As a community, we would like to thank our Catholic Members of Parliament for the love they have shown to these children. As you know, life is a gift from God, so too these children are a gift from God and who knows, these will be our future leaders,” she said.
