Diri Urges Care For Clergy
The need for the laity to honour and care for the priests who have offered themselves as living sacrifice for the service of God has again been stressed.
Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State gave the admonition while addressing Christians at a priestly and diaconate ordination mass organised by the Catholic Diocese of Bomadi at St Patrick’s Parish, Ovom, Yenagoa.
Represented by the Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, the Governor described genuine clergymen as an asset to the society whose services contribute to the spiritual and moral wellbeing of the people.
Senator Diri said the challenges facing ministerial priests are quite enormous and therefore they should be supported in terms of prayers and material gifts.
He used the opportunity to once more thank Bayelsans and men of God for their prayers and support to the present administration that culminated in its electoral and numerous court victories.
Speaking in his personal capacity, the Deputy Governor congratulated the newly ordained priests and deacons on their successful ordination and enjoined them to be faithful in the service of God.
