Bungoma, 16 December, 2025 / 3:36 pm (ACI Africa).
The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Bungoma has urged children to cultivate good character by embracing sincerity, honesty, and patience in their daily lives.
In his Monday, December 15 homily at Christ the King Cathedral, Bungoma, during the Pontifical Missionary Childhood (PMC) annual Mass, Bishop Mark Kadima Wamukoya encouraged the children to put into practice two primary missionary aspects that will shape them into individuals with good character as they move from one stage to another.
“At this stage, what you are going through is to be helped to be good people. Formation of character for us to be good children, good adults, good successful people, and good missionaries. The character that we have to have is sincerity, honesty. We have to avoid being fake people,” Bishop Kadima said.
The Bishop cautioned against hypocrisy, saying that some people “tell you I want this, yet their intention is elsewhere. If you give them, they do another thing. They calculate all their projects, their answers before they meet you, they have already calculated what they want from you.”
“That character is to be avoided among us,” he reiterated, emphasizing honesty and sincerity as the “main character that is required of children.”
