Lodu said the many activities taking place in parishes and schools indicate
that faith was growing. He told students that there are many things they could
do to evangelize to one another by sharing their faith in word and deed.

The
Bishop made these remarks while presiding over Eucharistic celebrations to mark
the end of Young Christian Students (YCS) Rally Day on Saturday 5th
October, which was organized by the Diocese.

He
urged the Young Christian Students or YCS to become priests and sisters to
accomplish the work left by Jesus Christ. He explained that becoming priests or
sisters is not by force but by faith that draws an individual to answer the
call of God.

Bishop
Lodu said that the Diocese will continue sending boys to the seminary so that
even if they do not become priests, they will because would become good
Christians and Church pillars.
