“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” – Matthew 25:40
At the heart of Christian life is love expressed in action. Charity is not only about giving material goods; it is about sharing ourselves, our time, and our compassion with those in need. The Diocese of Gweru continues to encourage every parish, family, and believer to make charity a way of life.
Charity as a Call from Christ
When Jesus walked among us, He healed the sick, fed the hungry, comforted the sorrowful, and welcomed the outcast. He calls His disciples to do the same. Charity is therefore not optional — it is an essential mark of our faith.

Charity Builds Community
Charity is never one-sided. When we serve others, we also grow in humility, gratitude, and love. Communities become stronger when they are marked by solidarity and generosity.
An Invitation to All
Every believer is called to charity. No act of love is too small — a kind word, a helping hand, or a shared prayer can transform lives. Together, we build a Church that is not only a house of worship but also a home of compassion.
“Let us love not with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” – 1 John 3:18
