FR. JEREMIAH BATURE IS ON TRANSFER

His Lordship Most Rev. David Ajang announced the voluntary decision of Fr Donal Fennessy who recently turned 80 years of age to recede from Parish work and declared the creation of nine new mission areas in the Diocese of Lafia during the celebration of the Holy Mass marking the end of the Year of St Joseph and Inauguration of the Synod on Synodality in the Diocese at the St William Cathedral Lafia.

The newly created areas are as follows; St Justina New Nyanya, St Peter Auta Balefi, St Mark Kodape, St Mary Aso B, St Joseph Kabayi, St James Tudun Amba, St Michael Jeun, St Patrick Jankawa and St Joseph BCG Keffi.

Among the new appointed Priests in Charge of mission areas is our own dear Fr. Jeremiah Bature who has now been appointed as the new priest in Charge of St. Jospeh’s Kabayi, a new mission area carved out of St. Theresa’s Kabayi. Fr. Jeremiah has worked for one year ten months in St. Rita as the first priests to work as an assistant. We will be replaced by Rev. Fr. Silas Habila Blazze, who is one of the newly ordained priest in the Catholic diocese of Lafia. He was ordained on 18th November, 2021. We wish them well in their new appostolate.

In a movement affecting 39 priests of the Diocese, he also announced the posting of the 8 newly ordained Priests of the Diocese, appointment of 9 to the newly created areas, 3 deacons and transfer of other Assistant Priests.

CWO Visits Orphanage home!

The Women are moved to share what the have with the vulnerable children, whose plight is no cause of theirs. The Gesture has been welcomed by most women and the entire parish, who are calling on all parishioners and well wishers who would love to support this venture to meet the Parish CWO mother for their contributions. Nothing they said is too small. For the saying is true drops of water makes an ocean.
