He emphasised the ongoing need for personal spiritual growth and a steadfast commitment to Christian values.

Obbo also urged the faithful, including the newly confirmed, to make forgiveness a foundation of their Christian life, promoting reconciliation and understanding in their communities.

"Forgiveness is not merely a Christian virtue, it is the very heart of our faith, a reflection of God's boundless grace. Let us strive to forgive as we have been forgiven," Archbishop Obbo said.

The confirmation of the 62 students is seen as a significant contribution to the future of the Church in the region, highlighting the vibrancy and dedication of Catholic youth in Tororo.
