The Bishop-elect of Soroti Catholic Diocese Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph Eciru Oliach has urged the youth in the Country to remain alive and vibrant in the Church and build relationship with Christ.<\/p>\n
He made his appeal in an exclusive interview with the \u201cResearcher Bulletin\u201d at St. Mary\u2019s National Seminary Ggaba in Kampala when he was asked to share about his wishes for the Church especially the youth.<\/p>\n
Rt. Rev. Joseph Eciru Oliach who will be installed as the Ordinary of Soroti Diocese on 25th. May 2019 challenged the youth to allow themselves to be animated by their faith despite the challenges that they face in life.<\/p>\n
He noted that some youth may possibly be living in difficult situations with experiences of famine, drought, and unemployment, adding that it should not be a reason to despair.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are also signs of hope. Even though many may not agree but for a Christian there are signs of hope both politically and economically. The prevailing peace and economic growth,\u00a0 are indications of hope that our young people should build on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation of the Holy Father Francis, dedicated to the young people and the entire People of God, the Bishop-elect emphasized the need for the young people to build their relationship with Christ who is alive and the basis of our hope.<\/p>\n
Aged 48, the Bishop-elect believes that Pope Francis\u2019 Post-Synodal Exhortation speaks eloquently, heart to heart with the youth, emphasizing that that Christ is alive and is our hope although there are crises and worsening levels of poverty in today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n
Rt. Rev. Joseph Eciru Oliach urges the youth to be receptive to opportunities in society. He concluded by appealing to all Catholics to defend their faith. \u201cFor example, when you go to Rome, you breath the air of universality and experience its beauty so much so that you don\u2019t even feel like moving an inch away from the Catholic Church: and that is my message to all Christians\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
