The Bishop of the Diocese of Kabale, Rt. Rev. Calistus Rubaramira, has encouraged Christians to embrace the Holy Spirit by living according to its guidance rather than succumbing to their bodily desires.
Bishop Rubaramira made these remarks while leading a mass and delivering his sermon at Makiro Catholic Church in Kanungu Town Council, Kanungu District.
Referring to Acts 2:1-11 and Galatians 5:16-25, the Bishop noted that many people today have turned to worldly vices such as greed, hatred, idleness, prostitution, jealousy, and corruption, abandoning the Gospel’s teachings of love, hard work, happiness, prayer, and church building. During the service, the Bishop also confirmed 144 Christians, recognizing them as strong pillars of the Catholic Church.
At the same event, the Honorable Minister of ICT and National Guidance, Chris Baryomunsi, presented rosaries to all the newly confirmed Christians, encouraging them to strengthen their faith. However, many tea-farming Christians expressed disappointment that the minister did not address the tea crisis, which recently led to the closure of Rugyeyo Tea Factory in Rugyeyo Sub County. This closure has resulted in the abandonment and uprooting of tea plantations.
