The Auxiliary Bishop for the Archdiocese of Lilongwe Vincent Mwakhwawa, has urged Youths in the Archdiocese to be self-reliant and resourceful when running their organization.

According to Bishop Mwakhwawa, youths should not just rely on parents, but instead use their skills and knowledge when mobilizing resources for their organization.

“Our meeting today with the youths, is aimed at advising them on how they can use their skills to benefit their organization and not always asking parents for support in terms of financial and other resources. The youths should be self-reliant and also to help church in areas of development”, said Auxiliary Bishop Mwakhwawa.

On her part, Sister Veronica Ng’omba who is one of the executive members responsible for the youths in the Archdiocese of Lilongwe, said time has come for the youths to be self-reliant in everything.

“We have discussed and empowered these youths today, that they have to be skillful, and they have to use the skills wisely to run their Organization in the Archdiocese, without relying much on the help from parents or the church,” she said.

Making the remarks, one of the archdiocesan youth executive member, Saul Jere, described the meeting fruitful, as it has helped them to have a wider knowledge on how they can deal with challenges they are facing in their organization.

The Meeting was chaired by the Auxiliary Bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lilongwe. Rt. Rev. Vincent Mwakhwawa, Archdiocesan Youth Executive members and Executive Committee members responsible for the youths in the Archdiocese of Lilongwe.
