Dimapur, June 2 (EMN): A newly-built “Peace Centre school building” has been inaugurated on June 2 at Sakraba village. The building was inaugurated by Rev. Dr. Philip SJ, principal of Nazareth School in Pfutsero.
The building was dedicated by Most Rev Dr. James Thoppil, Bishop of Nagaland, updates from the Catholic authorities stated on Friday.
In his speech, the bishop thanked God for the blessing the people received through dedicated missionaries. He hoped that the people would ‘be more open to the Catholic presence in the area and the new school will be a source of great learning,’ the updates from the organisers stated. The bishop was also informed to have clarified that the church was not a merely social agency for education, but fundamentally religious that continues the mission of Jesus.
It is not a government that has plenty of money, but its wealth is its committed priests and religious who have committed their life and make great sacrifice in order to proclaim the message and values of Jesus by their lives, the updates stated him as having said during the event.
