Over 800 young people from Salesian parishes and schools in Malawi, Zimbabwe and the host Zambia have attended a week-long youth rally in Mansa Diocese convened to sensitise them on the forth-coming Synod for young people to be held in the Vatican, next month. Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) National Youth Coordinator who is also the Provincial Youth Coordinator for the Salesian Sisters, Sr. Chanda Nsofwa, FMA, and Youth Delegate for Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Namibia Province Fr. Christopher Kunda, SDB, expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the event and the level of awareness created.
Central to this gathering were moments of prayer, which were well spaced out in the course of each day. There was also the Youth Pilgrimage to the Mansa Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary and an outing to Lake Bangweulu in Samfya District where the closing Mass was celebrated.
