ZAMBIA: Youths, Hope of the Church-Bishop Kasonde
The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Solwezi Rt. Rev. Charles Kasonde has recognized the youth as hope for prosperity of the church, the family, the nation and the universe at large.
Speaking to hundreds of youth during the celebration of Holy Mass to mark Youth Day at St Kizito Parish in Solwezi on 12th, March, 2018, Bishop Kasonde reminded the youth that the world depends on them, hence they must show signs that indeed the entire universe have hope on them.
He urged the youth not to lose moment of racing for the faith in the Lord and ensure that the church is promulgated, propagated and continued to transmit the faith that people have found in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The 2018 youth day was celebrated under the Universal and Diocesan Theme “Young People, Faith and Vocation Discernment” and “Bible and the Family.”
Speaking at the same function, Solwezi Deanery Youth Chairperson Peter Zuze challenged the church leadership and all stakeholders to look for possible measures in which the youth in the diocese can be well supported to run various initiatives and activities of the church.
“It will be of help if the youths can be helped to access land so that they can construct Deanery Youth Offices for effective operation of youth programmes in the Diocese. The land would be of greater use, as the youth would have access to sporting playground and entrepreneurship. Possible lands that were in parishes are no more due to constructions going on in most of the Parishes,” Zuze said.
