Father Joseph Sikwese, who is also the Pastoral Secretary for the Diocese of Karonga, said this at St Mary\u2019s Parish during the conference of Association of Catholic Teachers (ACT) which took place from 3rd<\/sup> to 5th<\/sup> August, 2018.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the Parish Priest Father Joseph Sikwese appreciated the turnout of teachers which implies that they are devout Catholics.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are strongly committed to the Church and its values and fully committed, to the cause of Catholic education. You are also committed to Catholic Social Teaching and are steadfast agents through whom the catholic values and faith can be implemented in the schools where you are serving,\u201d said Father Sikwese.<\/p>\n

His remarks were in line with Bishop Martin Mtumbuka\u2019s statement during the 2017 Association of Catholic Teachers\u2019 conference. The statement stressed that teachers are role models and should use their positions to impart moral values and discipline.<\/p>\n

St Mary\u2019s Parish ACT is a group of Catholic primary and secondary school teachers who wish to support their parish in the teaching of catholic faith by participating in Sunday school as instructors among other aims. As an Association, working together to promote their Catholic faith, lighting the way for the future of Catholic education becomes their core priority.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Chairperson for St Mary\u2019s Parish Association of Catholic Teachers Mr. Mwanguku thanked the pastoral team for making their convention possible. He promised that as teachers, they will continue carrying the flag of Catholic education and living the values it demands in their own life and profession.<\/p>\n

The teachers shared on the successes and challenges they face in their work. They also interacted with resource persons on the following topics: Articles of Catholic faith by Fr. Joseph Sikwese; Catholic Education Policy by Mr. Remmie Kamanga, Leadership & Administration by Mr. Thomas Chauzuka Nyondo, and 2019 Malawi\u2019s Tripartite Elections by CCJP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
