Musimenta Guard Babwekyeeka, emphasized the importance of adopting positive parenting practices urging men to become exemplary role models for their children by demonstrating respect for their wives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robert Niwagaba, the host of the event, reinforced the need for men to prioritize their faith, noting that many family struggles stem from a lack of reverence for God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Father&#8217;s Union Nyabirerema Archdeaconry Mr. Namureeba Justus, Chairperson outlined the retreat\u2019s broader objectives saying that Men are increasingly disengaged from church activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the diocese organized the retreat\/seminar to bring men together and enhance their involvement in raising the next generation of Men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The retreat, which attracted over 200 participants, also featured a friendly football match between the married men of the Father&#8217;s Union and the unmarried men, known as Christian men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Christian men emerged victorious by 4goals to 1, adding a competitive yet collegial spirit to the day&#8217;s activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUKIGA:\u00a0The Kigezi Diocesan Father&#8217;s Union has launched a significant
