Mua Mission

Mua Mission is a major tourist stop for those
interested in the history and culture of Malawi.

In 1902, the Catholic Church sent the White Fathers
to Mua to found a mission. This statue commemorates
the one hundredth anniversary of the founding.

This church was built in 1971 on the original church site.
The mission also houses a hospital and a Chamare Museum
that is known throughout Malawi for preserving the history
of the tribes as customs are eroded by modernity.

This is a close-up of the mural that you can see
on the front of the church in the previous picture.
It is a picture of the Bible story of Mary and Elizabeth.
