On 5th February 2022 priests, religious sisters, religious brothers and the laity gathered at Mangochi Cathedral to celebrate the feast of the presentation of the Lord in the temple and launch Pontifical Missionary Society (PMS) Jubilees. The function was presided over by his Lordship Rt. Rev. Montfort Stima.

At the beginning of the function Fr. Steve Kamanga made a presentation on the Synod of Bishops which runs from 2021-2023.  In his presentation he explained what the synod is all about and how the faithful can actively participate.  After the synod presentation, Eucharistic celebration followed.

In his homily the bishop said, “we need to live Christ’s teachings and share him with our fellow brothers and sisters everywhere we go.”  When the Mass was ended a common meal was shared marking the closure of the celebration of consecrated life.
