In the remote villages of northern Malawi, thousands of faithful Catholics walk for hours to attend Mass. A new parish has just been created to serve them—but they need help to celebrate the Sacraments and build a simple parish house.

With your generosity, we can help make this possible.

Hello everyone! It is a joy to once again use this platform to help others.

Over the past two years, I have had the opportunity to travel to Malawi five times as a missionary, supporting the local Church in spreading the Gospel and promoting the social, professional, and human development of the people who live in the northern part of the country, especially in the Diocese of Karonga.

The Diocese of Karonga covers the far northern region of Malawi. It is an entirely rural area, often very difficult to access. To reach many villages, people must walk for hours—especially during the rainy season when roads become nearly impassable.

Yet the people who live in these villages are joyful, resilient, and deeply faithful. Their faith is truly inspiring.

Because of the growth of the Catholic community in this region, the local bishop, Bishop Martin Mtumbuka, has recently established a new parish: St. Veronica Catholic Parish.

This is wonderful news for the local faithful, but the new parish is starting with very limited resources.

Recently, the new parish priest, Father Edward Kamanga, contacted me asking for help to purchase liturgical vestments and essential items needed to celebrate Holy Mass and the Sacraments, as well as to help establish the new parish house.

He reached out to me because in the past I have helped coordinate similar initiatives, simply acting as a bridge so that many generous people could contribute to the mission. I am also sharing the budgets he sent me, with the costs listed in the local currency (MWK), for full transparency.

What Your Donation Will Help Provide

Liturgical vestments and items for the celebration of Holy Mass

6.110.000 MWK

Essential furnishings for the new parish house

6.450.000 MWK

These simple but necessary items will allow the parish to begin its mission and serve the Catholic community in this rural region.

How Donations Will Be Transferred

I currently live in Australia, so I will provide an Australian account for donations.

Once the funds are collected, I will transfer them directly to Malawi through Wise or Revolut, ensuring that the money reaches the parish safely and efficiently.

Thank you very much in advance for your generosity and support. Your help will make it possible for this new parish community to celebrate the Holy Mass and the Sacraments, and to continue growing in faith.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will make a real difference.
