Nairobi, 20 July, 2024 / 7:06 pm (ACI Africa).
Knowledge acquired from institutions of learning is meant to help improve the quality of life, both beneficiaries and others, who encounter and interact with the beneficiaries, Bishop Simon Peter Kamomoe one of the three Auxiliary Bishops of Kenya’s Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi (ADN) has said.
Bishop Kamomoe, who was presiding over Holy Mass for the annual Prize Giving Day that Holy Innocent Tassia Catholic School in Nairobi organized on Thursday, July 17 emphasized the need for holistic education that contributes to learners’ maturity, intellectually, socially, spiritually, and emotionally among other dimensions of human growth and development.
The formal education that you are acquiring here, he said, is “helping you to know what is good and what is wrong.”
“Here you are moulded and shaped to become a spiritually intelligent person that when you go out there, you can change this country,” the Kenyan Catholic Bishop told the learners, and added, “If you continue having that sense of goodness and avoiding the evil in the world, with the knowledge that you are acquiring here, you are going to become a very successful person.”
“We would like you to mature in your faith, academically and also emotionally. Let us pray that the knowledge that you are acquiring here will help you to improve the quality of your lives and that of other people,” he implored, and emphasized the need to mature in other human dimensions, including spiritual and social among others.
