Pastoral Ministry is one of the oldest programmes in the diocese. The main aim for this programme is to promote faith and evangelize spirituality to all, in the Diocese and beyond. In order to achieve this, it involves the clergy/ Religious and lay people; the church groups and partners.
As a result of evangelization through the Christian communities there is fast growth of our faith and hence growth of Catholic Church in this Diocese The surge of faith continues to open new challenges of evangelization.
In order to overcome these challenges and even reach further to those yearning to know Good news, while strengthening the faith of our faithful, it has become very necessary to develop a very strong on-going formation for our agents of evangelization, including the priests and religious, the catechists, the Youth, Catholic men and Women, Catholic teachers, catechists, Diocesan Staff, young Christian Students, married couples, parish and diocesan leadership (pastoral councils) et cetera.
This on going formation is undertaken through workshops, In-service trainings, Annual General Meetings, Rallies, Eucharistic Celebrations, Media and publications, Retreats and Recollections, music, weekend challenges, talks/ public speeches, among other avenues of evangelization.
In undertaking the pastoral ministry several programmes and projects have been developed and initiated under the Pastoral Office; including:
- Catechetical programme
