Nairobi, 30 May, 2025 / 5:08 pm (ACI Africa).
Bishop Mark Kadima Wamukoya of the Catholic Diocese of Bungoma has urged Franciscan Sisters of St Joseph Asumbi (FSJ) to rise above tribal identities and dedicate themselves fully to the mission of Christ, fostering unity in diversity.
In his homily during the official opening of the FSJ Convent in his Episcopal See on Friday, May 30, Bishop Kadima reflected on the words of St. Paul on service for all, encouraging FSJ members to become “everything for everybody” to win them to Christ.
“Become everything for everybody that people can approach you, people can live with you. The most important thing in that statement is that be a person who can live with others and live anywhere to bring Christ there,” Bishop Kadima said at the opening of Our Lady Queen of Peace Convent in his Episcopal See.
He emphasized, “Don’t be tribal. Stop tribalism! Stop favouritism; serve everyone.”
The Kenyan Catholic Bishop urged the people of God in his Episcopal See to emulate the members of FSJ, popularly known as Asumbi Sisters, and warned against complaining. He said, “Go everywhere even if you’re not rewarded, become everything, eat what you’re given, work the way these Sisters have worked here.”
