| H.E. Archbishop Charles D. Balvo, Apostolic Nuncio to Kenya and South Sudan |
The Apostolic Nuncio to Kenya and South Sudan His Excellency Archbishop Charles Daniel Balvo has asked the faithful to make personal reflections on missionary activities.
Speaking at the beginning of a three-day International Missionary Conference at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) on Tuesday 19th in Nairobi Kenya; the Apostolic Nuncio said that the Church, which is the salt of the earth and the light of the world, is summoned with special urgency to save and renew every creature, and in this way, all things can be restored in Christ, and in Him humanity can compose one family and one people.
He said that the conference was an opportune moment for personal reflections on missionary activities; and that the theme Evangelization in Africa: Commemorating and Redefining Our Missionary Identity, Relevance and Role in the World todaywas time.
“All of us need time to step back to reflect on what direction we are taking in life, on what vision we have for carrying out our mission and in what way our various activities aid in achieving the goals that that very mission intends for us,” he said.
He said that the Decree Ad Gentes (Mission to all people) suggests that the Church has fulfilled and continued to fulfill her role as sent by God to be the universal sacrament of salvation.
The Conference was organized by among others Consolata Missionaries to mark a number of important anniversaries and events, among them, the beatification of Sister Irene Stefani, which is scheduled to take place in Nyeri Diocese on Saturday 23rd May.
