the Fund raising event, the Chairman for the Episcopal Conference of Malawi

the roles played by the catholic Media by running free adverts for the event
which led to the large turnout in the event; and above all for the free air
time broadcasting the event during the fundraising day.

Archbishop
Msusa recalled the success of the 18th AMECEA Plenary held in Malawi
last year which was basically their contribution. He said Malawi managed to
host a successful and historical AMECEA Plenary last year because there was
proper collaboration between all stakeholders including the laity hence a
challenge for a continued support to the Church-more particularly during this
year’s Platinum Jubilee for Kachebele Seminary. “On behalf of my fellow Bishops
and indeed on my own behalf, I would like to thank you all for supporting the
Church in various ways,” he said.

“I would
like to warn you Seminarians never take the support from the faithful and
people of goodwill for granted. It’s high time you become serious with your
vocation. The laity out there would not want to have priests who are
irresponsible when you finish up your studies,” Bishop Mtumbuka sounded the
warning to a representative of Seminarians who witnessed the dinner and dance
event.
