Bururi, 06 March, 2024 / 9:00 pm (ACI Africa).
The Bishop of Burundi’s Bururi Diocese is upbeat about the Diocese’s newly inaugurated Laudato Si-Palms University, and hopes that the institution will contribute to the country’s prosperity.
In his homily during the inaugural Mass of the catholic university, Bishop Salvator Niciteretse said the institution is a response to the concerns of local parents whose children attend distant universities and to contribute to the development of the country.
“The mission of this university is to build a prosperous society in a healthy environment of justice and peace,” Bishop Niciteretse said during the March 2 Eucharistic celebration.
He said the institution is “committed to forming a culture of peace and environmental protection.”
Additionally, the institution is key in the promoting the dignity of the human person, a step that the Bishop said is important in the evangelization of Burundi which he said remains “wounded by decades of violence.”
