Postcard
Malawi is a landlocked country in
southeast Africa. It is bordered by Zambia, Tanzania and (for the most
part) Mozambique. Once under British rule and known as Nyasaland, the country
gained full independence in 1964 and renamed itself Malawi.
St Louis Montfort catholic church is located in Balaka,
a district in the Southern Region of Malawi. It is named after Saint
Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (1673 – 1716), a French Roman
Catholic priest and Confessor. In 1705 he founded the
community of the Missionaries of the Company of Mary, a missionary religious
congregation within the Catholic Church. The congregation is made up
of priests and brothers who serve both in the native lands
and in other countries.
Stamp
Malawi issued in 2007 a set of 11 definitive butterfly
stamps.
