First Lady hails Catholic Church

The First Lady Madam Gertrude Hendrina Mutharika has hailed the CatholiC Church for complimenting government’s efforts in uplifting lives of people in the country.

The First Lady was speaking at Thunga Catholic Parish in Thyolo on Saturday, during 50 years golden jubilee commemorations of the parish.

Madam Mutharika, who was guest of honour at the function, said the Catholic Church has carried out a lot of crucial development projects in various sectors which have transformed lives of people and communities across the country.

“We take pride in the Catholic church because it takes care of the spirituality and physical being of the person. There are a lot of education institutions from nursery schools to colleges, hospitals, broadcasting houses, human and civil rights organizations that are all initiatives of the Catholic Church.

“And there is also the advisory role to the government that the church continues to play  which is very crucial to ensure that the Government achieves its mandate,” said Mutharika.

She also hailed members of the Catholic Church for being self reliant as evidenced by the selfless contributions the make towards the various development projects of the church.
