CHANGE OF DATE FOR NATIONAL CONFERENCE, JOS 2021.

After a planning committee meeting held this evening at the Archbishop's residence Jos, we are constrained to inform you of a change in dates for our National Conference.

Our previous dates unfortunately clashed with the General Assembly of Jos Archdiocese, which was rescheduled to accommodate the Conference of the Catholic Bishops of Nigeria. The new dates are 22nd to 25th September, 2021.

We regret any inconveniences this change may cause you beloved brethren. Kindly continue to pray for a very successful conference.

Ike Nwachukwu,
National Secretary.
