On Friday 2ndOctober 2015, the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) held its 32nd Graduation ceremony on which some 1,591 graduands received Diplomas and Degrees at the University’s main campus in Langata, Nairobi.
The Chief Guest at the graduation which had a Theme of "Holistic Education for Sustainable Transformation of Africa," was H.E. Mrs. Angelina Wapakhabulo, the Ugandan High Commissioner to Kenya.
The Chancellor of the University, H.E, Berhaneyesus Cardinal Souraphiel, Archbishop of the Metropolitan Diocese of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia conferred the degrees and diplomas to the graduating candidates, in the presence of CUEA Council chaired by Bishop Maurice Muhatia Makumba of Nakuru diocese in Kenya His Lordship Bishop Maurice Muhatia.
A day before the graduation, Cardinal Berhaneyesus urged the graduating students of CUEA to trust in God as they go out to fulfill their various missions for which they have been equipped with knowledge and skills form the university in his homily during the thanks giving Holy Mass for the Graduation held at the University Main Campus in Langata, Nairobi, Kenya
Referring to the Gospel reading of the day, Cardinal Berhaneyesus, who is also the Chairman of AMECEA said that messengers are equipped with only trust in God. “It is not an easy task to preach the Gospel of hope, joy, and freedom; trust in God is therefore big weapon to defend oneself,” he said.
He said that when the disciples were commissioned to go and spread the Good News, they were told not to show any difference between rich and poor, slave and master but rather to go to everyone because all needs to listen to the message; likewise he urged the graduating students to embrace the same spirit in their service deliveries. “Do not differentiate who should be the child of God, to whom the Gospel should be delivered. Whether received or rejected the message of the Gospel remains the same.”
