Catholics urged to use talents to serve God

A call has gone out to Catholics to turn their talents into tools for serving God and strengthening their communities.

The call was made by Rumphi Central MP and UTM presidential running mate in the 2025 General Elections Matthews Mtumbuka on Sunday at Holy Trinity Parish in Matawale, Zomba Diocese.

Speaking as guest of honour during the launch of St. Gregory Catholic Choir Mzimu Woyera’s new album, Mtumbuka urged fellow Catholics to identify their talents and use them to glorify God.

He said every person in the church has a talent that can contribute to the work of God, with music providing an important platform for spreading the gospel.

“Every person in the church has a talent that can be used to serve God well. One of these talents is music, and we should use it to glorify God,” said Mtumbuka.

Mtumbuka also thanked the choir for inviting him to the album launch, describing the invitation as an honour.

“I would like to thank St. Gregory Choir for inviting me to be the guest of honour. The people of Rumphi Central are very honoured by this invitation,” he said.

Meanwhile, Zomba City North MP Bester Awali, through his personal assistant Joe Pamamera, thanked Mtumbuka for attending the event despite their political differences.

Pamamera said Mtumbuka’s attendance showed that community interests could rise above political party colours.

“We would like to thank Matthews Mtumbuka for gracing this occasion and putting party colours aside to attend this function, especially because the invitation came through Honourable Bester Awali,” said Pamamera.

Mtumbuka also showed his support for the choir by buying the newly launched album CD for K1.5 million.
