Addressing the congregation during the installation ceremony at Uzima University College grounds in Kisumu, recently, His Grace Archbishop Anyolo expressed gratitude to the Pontiff for his appointment, to his brother Bishops for support and to all who graced the occasion. He appreciated the services of Archbishop Emeritus Zacchaeus Okoth whom he said had given his all to the people of the Archdiocese of Kisumu for almost five decades, pointing out that he had served with dedication hence leaving behind a rich legacy which he promises to continue.
As reported by Vatican news, His Excellency Archbishop Anyolo remarked that “I come in humility as a child of God, a child of the universe and son of the Church that calls us to be rooted in Christ with mother Church.” Echoing the words of St. Paul…..“Be rooted in Christ and build upon Him and establish yourselves in faith” Colossians 2:7, His Grace Archbishop Anyolo went on to add that this was at the core of priestly and baptismal vocations. He urged the faithful to form a family of faith rooted in Christ.
The Archbishop invited the Clergy and the religious brothers and sisters to allow Christ be the foundation of their vocation and to always walk with him.
