Bishop Nervi Media Centre Officially Opened
LILONGWE, Malawi- On
10th November, 2018, all roads converged at Area 2, Lilongwe, the
capital city of Malawi, for the official opening and blessing of Bishop Nervi
Media Centre. This grand celebration was led by Archbishop Tarcesius Ziyaye of Lilongwe Archdiocese and was
graced by the presence of Emeritus Bishop Allesandro Pagani, SMM.
In
his homily, Archbishop Tarcesius, emphasised the three necessary qualities for
a local Church; self-propagating, self-supporting, and self-governing. He
exhorted all to take a crucial part in making the kingdom of God visible here
on earth.
During
the celebration, Montfort Media launched the new publications: Buku la Misa la tsiku ndi tsiku (week-day
Missal) and Buku la misa pa tsiku la
mulungu ndi pa masiku oyera (Sunday Missal and for special occasions).
In
addition, different people were awarded certificates for their tremendous
contribution to the inception and growth of Luntha and Montfort Media.
In
his speech, the superior Delegate, Fr. Felix Mabvuto Phiri, SMM, said “What we
are doing here today in launching the Luciano Nervi Media Centre in Lilongwe is
a serious involvement and investment in social media for evangelisation of
culture. This is what Montfort Media and Luntha Television are dedicated to do
in these premises... We appeal to government, to foreign missions dedicated to
reaching out for the betterment of the people of Malawi with different
programs, to civil societies like non-governmental institutions, diocese,
parishes and business firms. Let us be your audible voice through print media
and television.”
Moreover,
Fr. Felix, SMM, ushered vote of thanks to Fr. Piergiorgio Gamba, SMM, Sr.
Louisa Toghagh (a Canossian Daughter of Charity sister), Fr. Luciano Marangon,
SMM, and Fr. Andrew Kaufa, SMM for dreaming in colours for Montfort Media and
Luntha Television to be there. He challenged Fr. Blaise Jailosi, SMM and Fr.
David Niwagaba, SMM who are the carriers of the dream, to continue these
beautiful dreams.
In
his speech, Archbishop Tarcesius, officially welcomed the Montfort Missionaries
in Lilongwe archdiocese. He recommended their work and wished them all the best
as they spread the gospel through print media and television. Meanwhile there
are two confreres belonging to Lilongwe community.
Bishop
Nervi Media Centre is dedicated to a Bishop who was a true son of Mary, a journalist
and writer of many books and the bishop of Mangochi Diocese for 30 days. May
Bishop Luciano Nervi, SMM continue praying for us and inspire this initiative
that is named after him.
