My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Good morning and happy Sunday.

Thanks for your kind words and very generous wishes and prayers for me on my 12th anniversary of episcopal ministry. The priests, religious and laity of the diocese have made the years pass swiftly and equally very eventful and with great accomplishments. Thanks to all of you. May the intercessions of St Francis of Assisi and the maternal mediation of Our Lady of Perpetual Help guide all my steps alright in all that I do for the glory of God and humanity. Thanks.

Yours in the service of Jesus and the Brethren

12 YEARS OF SELFLESS SERVICE

On Saturday 4th October, 2014 on the feast of St Francis of Assisi you were consecrated as Bishop. This sacred journey metamorphosed into your installation as the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi on Saturday 25th July, 2015.

Thank you for your resilience and commitment even in the face of trials. Thank you for your faithful and honest work even in times of crises. Thank you for your dedication and hard work even in the midst of scarce resources. Thank you for your commitment to building our spiritual life even in the face of tears and tension. Thank you for your courage even in moments of threat. Your life and work are true reflections of your Episcopal motto. Thank you for inspiring us.

We pray for good health, peace, happiness and that your Bishopric last long. May the Apostles in whose leadership you share and Saint Francis of Assisi on whose feast day you were consecrated Bishop ever intercede for you. Also, may the souls of Baba Thaddeus Tsetim Anagbe and Mama Veronica Anasue Anagbe rest in God's kingdom.

Happy anniversary 12th Episcopal anniversary, Most Revd Wilfred Dr Chikpa ANAGBE, CMF.
