Their consecration was celebrated during a Holy Mass in the Pallottine Parish of Gikondo and was presided by the Vice Regional Rector of the Pallottines, Fr. Gilbert Kazingufu, SAC. Many had come to celebrate this event, which included Pallottine Sisters and Fathers as well as religious from other congregations, family members of the newly professed and lay members of the UAC to support our brothers and sisters.

In his homily, Father Gilbert reminded all that Christ gave himself wholly to save us, therefore we are called to follow Him, the Way, the Truth and the Life with joy and fidelity. We are called to live the evangelical Councils like Christ according to the will of the Father.

After Mass, we shared a wonderful Feast with all the guests in the hall of the Parish.
