Train students to serve with purpose – Vicar Gen Kalumba

Kampala Archdiocese Vicar General Rev. Msgr Gerald Kalumba has urged schools to instill discipline in students while educating them in order to train them to serve their communities with a purpose after their studies.

“Our prayer is that the school where we are today restores younger people to the community for useful purpose, for contribution, our students are here to develop their talents. We pray that as the school continues to develop, not only the structures in the school but also the students that come out of this school to allow our young ones to go back to the community and serve with a purpose” he said.

Msgr Kalumba made the remarks while officiating over the silver Jubilee celebrations of Kisubi Mapeera S.S in Katabi Town Council, Wakiso District on Friday.

“It's a bit unfortunate nowadays, I don't know how it has happened but our Ugandan community has become very selfish. Majority of us are very selfish, we don't think of others, we think of myself and myself, whatever happens to the others is none of my business, provided I am okay. That's not a good spirit and that spirit cannot assist Uganda to develop, we shall go backward,” he said.

Msgr Kalumba said the Archdiocese that has been venerating the remains of the Uganda martyrs that were recently brought back home is praying for the Sainthood of French missionary Fr Simeon Lourdel (alias Mapeera) in Uganda and all over the world.
