Planned National Youth Conference in Malawi to Help Young People Grow into “responsible leaders”

The Malawian Catholic Priest goes on to provide details about the planned conference, saying that it “will take place at Limbe Cathedral, but they'll be lodging at James Chiona, as well as Maria Golet Secondary School.”

Each Malawian Catholic Diocese, he says, is to delegate 25 – 30 representatives to the conference. “These delegates should be those that can take what is being taught, and they can as well expound on it,” the National Youth Chaplain clarifies.

“We want to send lessons to fellow youths. Our expectation is that after the national youth conference, each Diocese will replicate what will be taught,” he further says.

Fr. Damaseke also appeals to each Diocese to contribute at least 30,000 Kwacha (US$17.00) per representative, to be used for logistics during the conference.

The Malawian Dioceses are to plan for “their own transport, but in terms of lodging and food, we are requesting for each representative to bring at least 30,000 Malawi Kwacha,” the National Youth Chaplain in Malawi says in his message.
