Katsina, 01 May, 2024 / 9:04 pm (ACI Africa).
An official of the Knights of St. John’s International (KSJI) in Nigeria’s Catholic Diocese of Katsina has pledged to have members of the Roman Catholic Union guided by the adage “In unity there is strength” in the Nigerian Diocese participate in addressing the challenges the people of God face.
Speaking to ACI Africa on the sidelines of the Thanksgiving Mass for newly initiated Brothers and Sisters of Commandery 667 Funtua, the Grand President, Kaduna Grand Commandery, Noble (Brig. Gen.) Augustine Odoemelam, lauded the Local Ordinary of Katsina, the Diocese erected last October, for contributing to the growth of Christian faith among the people.
The Knights of St. John International, Augustine said, will “contribute to alleviating the challenges being faced by Christians in this diocese.”
Responding to the appeal that Bishop Gerald Mamman Musa had made in his homily to have members of the Knights of St. John identify gaps in the evangelization ministry, which they can fill, Augustine pledged to spearhead active participation of his colleagues in the growth of the Nigerian Diocese that was erected on 16 October 2023.
“I assure you that the knights of St. John International will identify a project as her contribution to the development of the diocese,” he said during the Monday, April 29 interview with ACI Africa.
