We are proud to share that our alumnus, Sylvestre Kiche, has been appointed by the Conference of Bishops of Sierra Leone and The Gambia (ITCABIC) to take on two significant roles in Sierra Leone.
He will serve as a full-time lecturer in Safeguarding at the Major Inter-Territorial Seminary, contributing to the formation of future clergy with a strong emphasis on protection, accountability, and pastoral responsibility. In addition, he has been named National Coordinator of Safeguarding for Sierra Leone, based in the Archdiocese of Freetown.
In his new capacity, Sylvestre has already begun actively engaging with various groups across the Church to promote awareness and best practices in safeguarding. His work includes:
-
Leading safeguarding workshops with priests and their bishop
-
Conducting training sessions with the Sisters of Charity
-
Organizing workshops for leaders of parish organizations
These initiatives reflect a comprehensive and community-centered approach, ensuring that safeguarding principles are understood and implemented at every level of Church life.
We congratulate Sylvestre on this important appointment and commend his commitment to fostering safe and supportive environments within the Church.
