Ngong, 01 February, 2024 / 3:44 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Catholic Men Association (CMA) of Kenya’s Catholic Diocese of Ngong have been called upon to facilitate and provide mentorship to the boychild to enable him manage contemporary “demands of life”.
In his remarks published Wednesday, January 31 following the commissioning of new members of the CMA and Catholic Women Association (CWA) at St. John and Sylvia Parish of his Episcopal See, Bishop John Oballa of Ngong Diocese cautioned against ignoring the girlchild.
“As Catholic Men Association (CMA), you would do well to commit to systematic mentoring of the boy child; definitely, not at the expense of the girl child, but to awaken the focus on preparing the boy for the demands of life today and in days to come,” Bishop Oballa said.
He expressed his awareness of the many challenges the boychild faces, which require that their consciences are well formed, and that they remain vigilant.
Mentoring the boychild safeguards him from some societal challenges, including being pushed into isolation, resulting in depression, low esteem, and drug abuse among others, the Kenyan Catholic Bishop said during the January 28 celebration.
