Speak on Tuesday 5th when he officially opened the workshop he said that the purpose of the workshop was to build capacity in the dioceses participants represented.
“This workshop is an opportunity for each one of us here to learn new ways of handling some of the common and most challenging issues in our dioceses such as staff turnover, which is a common scenario in most Catholic institutions,” he said.
