The Bishop chair for priestly formation and institutes of concentrated life committee in Uganda Episcopal Conference (UEC), Rt. Rev. Francis Aquirinus Kibira has called on diocese administrations to run major and minor Seminaries with a good board of Governors that is conscious of gender balance and wisdom to guide young seminarians.<\/p>\n
Bishop Kibira said seminaries should not only focus on academic excellence but also the formation and morals of their students, saying he was impressed with seminaries that have appointed women on the board of Governors the gender he describes as the best educators.<\/p>\n
Bishop Kibira encouraged rectors of seminaries to organize special occasions for candidates at advanced level, and those in their last year of philosophy and theology should be advised and encouraged to take their commitments.<\/p>\n

He reminded Christians that they are the vineyard of Christ with a role to bear good fruits with the help of Christ\u2019s blood thus, encouraging them to use the sacrament of penance to renew their lives, as well as praying for one another.<\/p>\n
