Wau, 01 May, 2023 / 8:00 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Catholic Men Association (CMA) in South Sudan’s Wau Diocese have been urged to spearhead reconciliation initiatives in their respective communities.
Speaking during a meeting to evaluate the progress made by CMA members since their launch in his Episcopal See in June last year, Bishop Mathew Remijio Adam encouraged the Catholic men to support each other during their meetings, which he said should be used for planning on how to realize their objectives.
“The role of the association is to support the communities to live in peace with each other,” Bishop Remijio said during the Monday, April 24 event, and added, “There are many issues affecting our communities and we have to be in the forefront of resolving them.”
The South Sudanese member of the Comboni Missionaries (MCCJ) underscored the value of meeting regularly, and encouraged the CMA members in his Diocese “come together to discuss issues that are affecting our communities”, including incidences of disagreement and division among members.
“The Catholic Men Association is not only to empower our families alone and give witness to our Christian vocation,” Bishop Remijio said, adding that the association exists to help members plan together how to make the society better, and achieve their goals.
