Benguela, 13 July, 2024 / 4:35 pm (ACI Africa).
Families are instrumental in effecting change of behaviour among new general youths, Bishop Estêvão Binga has said.
Bishop Binga, who was speaking at the opening ceremony of the Evangelization Day of Angola’s Catholic Diocese of Benguela, which seeks to encourage the promotion of moral and civic values among teenagers and young people, starting with the family, underscored the need for formal education that guarantees intellectual maturity.
“Families play a fundamental role in changing the behavior of the new generations,” the Auxiliary Bishop of Benguela Diocese said during the Wednesday, July 10 event that had agents of the Family Ministry of the Angolan Catholic Diocese in attendance.
He added, “With a stable family, solidarity with the most vulnerable becomes increasingly effective and timely, even in terms of social stability within communities.”
“The process of Christian education must be taken into account because it constitutes an added value in the moralization of society,” the Angolan Catholic Bishop told the agents of the Family Ministry.
