Apostolic Nuncio to Zambia and Malawi, Most Rev Julio Murat has urged Sisters to be faithful and generous as they work for the Service of others.
Archbishop Murat said this at the graduation ceremony of the 14 Sisters at Kalundu Study Centre, Saturday 8, November 2014 in Lusaka.
“With this formation and leadership course, we expect you Sisters to positively contribute to the formation of your communities by helping others to reach their potential as human beings and also providing leadership skills in whatever services you will be involved when you leave Kalundu centre,” Archbishop Murat said.
The Vatican ambassador to Zambia and Malawi further urged the Sisters to use the gifts received from their studies at the service of the Church.
“All that we learn and do make meaning only when with generosity we put it at the service of others. Use your gifts at the service of others,” Archbishop Murat said.
“Ask the Lord, your friend Jesus, who is there to help you all the time when you need him. He is there although we are not there to accompany him. He can do more than we can ask or imagine for the generosity to serve him,” the Nuncio said.
In a vote of thanks graduating student representative Sr. Martha Mphanza thanked the teaching staff and the formation team at Kalundu Centre for the knowledge imparted on them and pledged to use the knowledge attained to shape their lives and for the services of others in the vineyard of the Lord.
Kalundu Study centre is an International institution that offers Formation and Leadership courses to future formators and leaders of religious women. The 14 students from different congregations in Africa graduated.
