TOR YUGH AND AGOH EMMANUEL SENT TO ROME.
Owing to the Universality of the Catholic Church, Makurdi Diocese on Sunday been 5th July, 2026, bade farewell to Revd. Fr. Tor Yugh Patrick and seminarian Agoh Emmanuel who were sent to Rome for further studies. Until his recent choice for Rome, Fr. Yugh served as the parish priest of St Theresa's parish High-level Makurdi, he also doubled as the Vocations Director and the Diocesan Chronicler.
The pursuit of further studies is an important aspect of a priest's and seminarian's ongoing formation and ministry. It is not merely an academic exercise but a means of serving God and His people more effectively.
The Bishop, Most Revd Wilfred Chikpa ANAGBE CMF, while presenting the Missionary Cross to Revd Fr. Yugh and Seminarian Agoh Emmanuel, exhorted them to remain committed to studies and be of good conduct while also assuring them of his fatherly moral and spiritual support.
The thanksgiving Mass held at the Bishop's chapel, was attended by Revd Frs: Emmanuel Abela, Peter Palave, Ortese Oliver, Ben Bito and the chancellor Okpanya Benjamin and lay faithful.
In appreciation for the honour done them, Revd Fr Tor Yugh Patrick who responded on behalf of his younger brother Agoh Emmanuel, thanked God, the Bishop and the Diocese in general for finding them worthy of such opportunity to study abroad and promised to uphold the dreams of the Diocese.
The event ended with a sumptuous meal as it is customary for those going on mission and studies, after which Yugh and Agoh were escorted to the airport for Rome. In Rome, they will be received by the Nigerian priests.
