Our Seminary Participates in the Virtual Synodal Encounter between Pope Francis and African Students

            On Tuesday, November 1^st 2022, Pope Francis held a virtual synodal dialogue with Africa’s young people from selected Catholic Institutions of higher learning. It is heart-warming to know that our Seminary was included in the list of selected African Institutions to participate in the virtual dialogue. The Dialogue themed: “Building Bridges Across Africa: A Synodal Encounter between Pope Francis and University Students,” had as its focal point: “Ubuntu,” an African philosophical ideology which has as its central message, the Gospel of love, inclusiveness, communion and making space for everyone, especially those at the peripheries of human existence. The Holy Father listened to the concerns of youths from across Africa and went on to encourage their faith, urging them to continue in their struggle for the good and the ideals with all their strength.  He admonished us all to look to our past and our roots, while living in the present with a firm grip of reality. Indeed, this encounter would not pass as a blip on the radar.
