A Catholic Nun serving in South Sudan’s Juba Archdiocese has called upon Christian parents and guardians in the East-Central African nation to bring up children under their care in Christian faith by introducing them to the life of the church.
Speaking to journalists when pupils of Sacred Heart Nursery school visited the Sudan and South Sudan Catholic Bishops Conference (SSCBC) Secretariat in Juba on Wednesday, September 28, Sr. Margaret Lakop said that introducing children to the life of the church will help them found their respective lives on essential moral and spiritual principles and influence good behavior.
“I am encouraging parents to introduce their children to church life because this is the only way we can spread the word and the gospel of the church,” Sr. Lakop who serves as the Administrator and teacher at the Sacred Heart Nursery in Juba said.
The member of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (SHS) told journalists that “the Catholic Church always teaches children good moral and spiritual behaviors in schools.”
“The behaviors will let them know more about Christianity and how to serve God in whatever situation they are,” she further said in reference to children.
