Nakonde Parish representatives celebrating with the trophy

Mother Theresa fund is the women’s initiative aimed at helping the diocese to pay tuition fees for the seminarians. This year they presented a cheque of K28,328.00. Every year a parish that contributes more than other is given a trophy.

This year the trophy is given to Nakonde parish. In his vote of thanks, the archbishop urged the women to continue with this good spirit and implored parish priests to support them because what urges them to help springs out from their nature as mothers.
