Nairobi, 09 July, 2024 / 12:07 pm (ACI Africa).
Teachers, parents, and guardians have an important role to play in the faith formation of children under their care, Bishop Simon Peter Kamomoe, one of the three Auxiliary Bishops of the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi (ADN) in Kenya has said.
In his homily during the 27th Annual Catholic Education Day for ADN that was organized under the theme, “Catholic Education for new evangelization for Active Participation in Christian Life”, Bishop Kamomoe called upon those with responsibility over learners to support the Church in her mission of evangelization.
“As we continue to guide them as teachers, and parents,” he said referring to learners, “let us remember that we are co-evangelizes; we are collaborators.”
“You have been called to be teachers, but you are collaborating with the Priests, with the Archdiocese, with the entire Church in shaping the lives of the learners,” the Kenyan Catholic Bishop said during the July 6 event held at St. Augustine Ngenia High School.
Alluding to the call of the 12 Apostles, Bishop Kamomoe said that in the same way Jesus called the Apostles to join in His mission, teachers, parents, and guardians are expected to join the Church in carrying out Christ’s mission of evangelization.
