The Joy and Struggle of Being a Priest in Malawi

One priest, 13 churches, 250 miles—Fr. Ignatio Bokosi shares how two priests serve 41,000 Catholics in rural Malawi without running water or reliable transport.

Guest host Dr. Thaddeus Romansky speaks with Fr. Ignatio about the gritty realities and deep joys of ministry among some of the world’s poorest communities. Hear his vocation story and how he brings the sacraments to remote villages while coordinating food deliveries, medical transport, catechesis, and liturgy with scant resources. Learn what Sunday Mass looks like when the nearest chapel is five hours away by truck—and why that truck, now broken down, is vital to baptisms, anointings, and pastoral care. This clear-eyed conversation highlights the resilience of the faithful, the practical challenges of evangelization, and the hope that sustains the Church on the margins.
