Nairobi, 03 December, 2024 / 11:40 pm (ACI Africa).
Bishop Peter Kimani Ndung’u of Kenya’s Catholic Diocese of Embu has urged young people in the East African country to embrace Church sacraments, singling out Matrimony as the sacrament that he says sanctifies couples and ensures that families are holy.
Addressing young people who thronged Subukia National Marian Shrine in the Catholic Diocese of Nakuru for their convention, Bishop Kimani urged the youths not to shy away from marriage.
The Bishop who serves as the Vice Chairperson of the Commission for Youth Apostolate under the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) was responding to concerns that were raised by some of the young people at the event who expressed their fear of getting married.
“Let us not fear the sacraments because it is through sacraments that God comes to us,” Bishop Kimani said at the November 30 National Youth Convention that was organized by the newly created commission. “The sacrament of Matrimony is there because the Church and family needs it,” he said.
The 58-year-old Catholic Church leader assured the young people who were drawn from Kenya’s 27 Dioceses of KCCB’s commitment to address the needs of the youth in the country.
