Local News – 15.04.2012 - By Okoth Peter - Be your brother's keeper; christians advised

Christians have been advised to live by the church's tradition by supporting each other in their Christian lives.
In his homily today, the Vicar General, Joseph Ekalimon, said the early church was structured in a way that emphasized importance of supporting each other, giving the Small Christian Communities (Jumuyias) that are found in our church as a good example.
The Vicar General also reminded Christians the importance of bringing about change saying that good change will benefit the entire community adding that in order for this change to take place, each and everyone of us should be willing to take part in it.
He called upon all Christians wherever they may be to be instruments of change by first of all accepting it and then practicing it in whatever they do, my it be at their places of work, business or any other.
He thanked both Catholic Women and Men Associations (CWA and CMA) for their resolve to be active during the Jubilee year by giving their contributions. While CWA has pledged to purchase seats that will be used during official functions, CMA will purchase tent materials.
To this effect, the CMA is scheduled to hold Harambee on 21st April at Bishop Mahon Centre and all have been asked to give assistance.
The Vicar General further said that apart from such undertakings, the Parish has been asked to contribute Kshs. 500, 000 towards Jubilee celebration which will entail putting up Jubilee Plaza in Lodwar town in commemoration of the Church's services in Turkana County among other things.
