The Catholic Archdiocese of Mwanza is set to host the National Eucharistic Conference, an even which is scheduled from 8 -11 June in Mwanza.
According to the Archbishop of Mwanza, Most Rev Thadeus Ruwaichi, the Mwanza Eucharistic Conference is the continuation of the International Eucharistic Congress held in Philippines in January this year, but this one is put in the local context.
The Conference will be attended by all Catholic Bishops, Priests, religious and lay representatives from each of the 34 dioceses.
In a special manner, this year’s Eucharistic Conference will also bring Children of the Holy Childhood Association.
According to Archbishop Ruwaichi it is vital for children to participate in the Eucharistic Conference because it is their fundamental right. “Children need to be involved and given them an opportunity to grow in Faith, Morally and Psychologically as Children of God.
The Archbishop also said that the Conference gives them a chance to cultivate their adoration attitude; worship the Jesus of the Eucharist, while they are still young.
This is the third national Eucharistic conference held in the country. The first was in 2000 in Dodoma which was hand in hand with climax of the Great Jubilee; the second took place in Iringa in 2012.
