In an effort to bridge the gap from Holy Childhood Ministry to Youth Ministry, the diocese of Dedza will this coming Saturday 30th of October 2021, launch groups of St Charles Lwanga and St Benedeta in Ntcheu parish after the demand from animators of children for two years.
According to the Director of Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) in the Dedza diocese, Fr Peter Ephraim Madeya, the groups will be composed of youth children aged between 14 to 17 years before they join the youth group at the age 18.
“On this launching day, we have planned so many activities that will happen after the Eucharist celebration and we are expecting children over 1000 from all the parishes in the diocese of Dedza. As of today 26th, of October 2021 over 610 children have registered their attendance,” said Fr Madeya.
He added that the history of the life of St Charles Lwanga and St Benedeta and the rules of the group will be led to all the people that will present before the Mass. The spirituality of the group will be based on the life of their patron saints Charles Lwanga and Benedeta.
The aim of this group is to bridge the gap from Holy Childhood Ministry to Youth Ministry above 18 years of age.
