Archbishop Phiri urges service to the poor

Archbishop Benjamin Phiri called on Christians to care for the marginalized, the sick, and the vulnerable during the 23rd anniversary of the death of Bishop Denis De Jong. The Archbishop of Ndola marked the anniversary of the late third bishop by describing him as a man of faith, humility, and generosity who dedicated his life to the welfare of the poor.

Archbishop Phiri urged the faithful to honor the late bishop's legacy by putting his values into practice, promoting peace, and treating all people with dignity. He encouraged the community to deepen their faith through active service and to respect the rights of others.

Parishioners at St. Antonio Fassani Parish in the Ndola Deanery told Radio Icengelo News that Bishop De Jong acted as a voice for the voiceless and fought against injustices affecting the underprivileged.
