Caxito, 07 November, 2024 / 3:23 pm (ACI Africa).
Bishop Maurício Agostinho Camuto of Angola’s Catholic Diocese of Caxito has called on teachers and Catechists to be role models in shaping the new generation and restoring society’s core values.
In his homily during Mass to mark the opening of the pastoral year for Catechists and teachers in his Episcopal See, Bishop Camuto emphasized that instilling good morals is a responsibility shared by families, and especially by teachers and catechists, who should impart them to children from a young age.
“We must return to good values, the values that help our society grow well, grow in harmony, in peace, and allow us to live joyfully,” the Angolan Catholic Bishop said Wednesday, November 6 at José Freinademetz Parish of his Caxito Diocese.
He added, “Teachers and Catechists, as well as us Priests, we are responsible for setting an example of good behavior, for guiding society in the right direction through our actions.”
“Our Catechesis must focus on this—teaching how to live as a Christian. Not just filling a child’s head with formulas to memorize, but teaching them how to live as Christians. This is what truly matters,” Bishop Camuto said.
