Serran Olusegun Joseph Anjorin has been installed as the 6th District Governor (DG) of Serra International, District 130-B Nigeria.
Anjorin, who took over from Serran Pius Tanimojo, was until his installation the President, Serran Club of Ipaja.
Serran International formed in 1938 is a catholic lay organisation dedicated to fostering and promoting vocations to the ministerial priesthood and consecrated religious life.
Speaking at the District 130-B 11th Convention held at Ss. Michael, Raphael and Gabriel Catholic Church, Satellite Town, Lagos, Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Most Rev. Alfred Adewale Martins, who congratulated the new district governor, admonished Serrans to continue to be actively involved in supporting the missionary mandate of the church aside using their gifts to serve others as faithful stewards of God.
Martins, represented by the Chaplain, Serra Club of Lagos, Very Rev. Msgr. Patrick Obayomi, said the response of Serrans to the clarion call, presupposes the action of giving and going, noting that some people give to mission by going while others go to mission by giving.
Speaking on the theme for the convention, “Answering God’s call; embracing the mission”, the archbishop described it as timely considering the need for mission and support. He urged club members to continue to engage themselves with the mission mandate of Jesus Christ as well as ensure the process of formation of agents of evangelisation, so that the goal of mission is achieved.
In his speech, the DG expressed happiness at the honour given him, revealing he intends to move the club forward in six key areas of contributing to Serra International Foundation, education, spirituality, vocation discernment programme, enhancing communication, and membership growth and retention.
The DG, who unveiled his new book, ‘Managing a Serra District: Your compass to effective leadership’, said he wrote the book to guide and encourage, as well as enrich himself and those that will work with him.
