Earlier in a sermon, the Chaplain, St John Paul II Catholic Chaplaincy, Rev. Dr. Didacus Kajo enjoined Christian to serve God at all times by collectively or individually contributing to the growth of the church and the society. Fr Kajo noted that, God is not interested in people’s wealth or possessions but in their contributions to the wellbeing of the society. He therefore urged all Christians to live right with their fellow men so as to reap God’s blessings.
