Among the notable guests was the Provincial Education Officer, Dr. Zulu, who joined educators, clergy, and learners in celebrating the achievements of Catholic education. The day began with a beautiful Holy Mass celebrated by the Archbishop of Ndola, Most Rev. Dr. Benjamin Phiri, JCD. The liturgy was particularly unique as students from the participating schools took charge of the various ministries. The choir, altar servers, readers, and members of the Stelas all came from different schools, creating a colorful and inspiring celebration that highlighted the unity and diversity of the Archdiocese’s Catholic schools. In his homily, Archbishop Phiri commended the exhibition as an important platform for learners to showcase innovation, creativity, and practical skills. He encouraged the pupils to remain focused on their studies, emphasizing that education is is not just about gaining knowledge but being able to positive contribute to the community. He warned them about engaging themselves in alcohol and substance abuse, fornication and other vices.
