It is always fulfilling to journey with the youth, seeing them grow,
encouraging them to bring out the best in them and more so letting them
be. Being charged with the responsibility of maintaining high level
discipline in the seminary is not an easy task. It revolves around
corrective measures whereby the intention is to ignite the senses of the
individual to make amendments where necessary. This task cannot be
achieved from my desk only for it is a collective responsibility whereby
the parents, teachers and the students are all stakeholders. Good
character traits make people yearn to do what is right and to
perpetually avoid that which is wrong. The structures of the seminary
are so well crafted to actualize this goal. The Akan community of Ghana
have a saying which states “to possess virtue is better than gold” a
policy which is inscribed in the seminary’s rule of life which is out to
promote virtues such as , faithfulness, truthfulness, concern for
others, actions that bring justice, respect, hard work and happiness.
For one to remain focused, it is good to note that personal effort is
needed. One needs to develop will power and to be disposed towards the
same and make the appropriate decisions. To realize this dream, we need
to critically think before execution of an act bringing the consequences
to the limelight for as Emerson rightly says “when we say no to
temptation, the power of overcoming that temptation passes into our will
power.” The seminary in her formation of the young labours tirelessly
to form and inform the stakeholders to be always armed with the
necessary life skills of thinking critically, thinking creatively and
making the right moral decisions.
I wish to thank all the stakeholders for we have been collaborating
well throughout as we remain focused on the task assigned to us. May
Almighty God continue showering us with his graces as we serve this
great institution.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Samuel Ndotono
Vice Rector.
