In 1997, Pope Saint John-Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This feast is celebrated in the Catholic Church every February 2nd. In the archdiocese of Lilongwe, this celebration is often arranged on a convenient day after the 2nd of February for all the consecrated men and women to meet together and have a day of recollection and gathering. This year, we celebrated this feast on the 3rd of February 2024.
