In an era where families often live in isolation, exacerbated by a rise in social media and the exigencies of work, a Catholic church in Shanzu has taken a proactive step to restore unity by hosting an eventful Family Day.
The worshippers from all walks of life and age groups put their devices away to avoid disruptions from social media to reconnect through faith, fun, and games.
The event-filled day began after the morning mass, where worshippers from four out stations: Bamburi, Majaoni, Maweni and Shanzu converged at the Sacred Heart of Christ Catholic Church for praise and worship before going to the field for athletics, football and tug-of-war games.
Surprisingly, the women's team triumphed over the men's team one-nil in the highly dramatic football game cheered by a mammoth crowd at the church's ground.
