Hundreds of Christians Monday thronged St Kizito Chapel Napumpum to celebrate the feast of saint Kizito as they joined the country to celebrate Martyrs Day.
The Christians were drawn from all the Chapels of Panyangara Parish in Kotido Catholic Diocese.
Rev. Fr. Denis Wanjala the parish priest of Panyangara catholic parish in his homily urged Christians to emulate St Kizito and be witnesses of God.
According to Fr Wanjala Christians need to imitate the works of the young martyr who sacrifice his life because of his faith.
Fr Wanjala also urged the Christians to desist from gossiping and rather do good if they are to get God’s blessings.
Amos Otitum the head catechist of Panyangara parish urged the Karimojong to embrace peace and stop the bloodshed.
Maria Nachu another Christian from Napumpum praised the martyrs and asked them to continue to intercede for the Karimojong community.
