“The program seeks to strengthen the Catholic faith by creating a platform for open and constructive dialogue on various topics while upholding the values and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church,” he said.

He said the program also seeks to promote the holistic development of the Catholic community, fostering spiritual growth, ethical living, and active engagement on contemporary social issues.

Mr. Nashaba said that the program aims at supporting individuals and families and contributing positively to the well-being of the community and society as a whole.

Nashaba told ACI Africa that since the program’s inception, several topics including the role of the laity in Church development, rights and obligations of the laity, family life, and the care for the elderly have been explored.

Other topics covered touch on professionalism in the management of parishes, marriage, as well as work-life balance especially for those who serve in the Church.
