The Vicar General of Arua diocese Monsignor Kasto Adeti has called upon Christians of Lima catholic parish to make proper use of the available land in order to support the priests and also develop the church.
 
The Vicar made the call on Tuesday September 10, 2024 at the parish centre while administering the sacrament of confirmation.
 
In his message he appealed to Christians in Lima to use the land well in order to support the priests, "Make use of the available land so as to support the priests and also support church projects in the parish,” he noted.
 
Adeti said Christians today have become enemies of church, " as land has become one of the most demanding resource, I want to warn some Christians who have become enemies of the church and want to grab church land and this should not happen in Lima catholic parish, God has given all the resources free so we should not fight over the resources that given to church." he cautioned.
