Nairobi, 30 January, 2024 / 12:20 pm (ACI Africa).
Student leaders in Catholic sponsored schools in Kenya have been urged to make Christian values their main reference in their day-to-day decisions.
In his January 27 homily during the Annual Leaders Symposium, the Local Ordinary of Nairobi Archdiocese, Archbishop Philip Subira Anyolo, said, “As a leader who is going to be consecrated today in the prayer of leadership, you are the one who knows the way. You should know the way and guide the other people.”
Archbishop Anyolo urged the student leaders to strive to live a “life of virtue”, putting to good use the leadership traits and their “giftedness” in their interactions with others in their respective institutions of learning.
“You are to be role models. Your colleagues will be looking up to you and everyone will try to imitate you without you noticing,” the Local Ordinary of Nairobi Archdiocese said during the January 27 event that was held at Mangu High School in his Metropolitan See.
He cautioned the over 3,000 student leaders against the tendency “to molest or mishandle” students placed under their leadership.
