We prayerfully invite you.

01/01/2024

Happy new year my dear and esteemed parishioners. What a day to be alive.
Today the 1st day of January 2024.
This day is made by the Lord, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

To see today is not a right but a privilege from God.
We cannot but thank Him for his faithfulness and love.

God does not only give us a new year but accompanied it with a divine blessing.

The priestly blessing as recorded in today's first reading from the book of Numbers 6: 22-27; thus: "may the Lord bless and keep you, may he be gracious and bless you, may his face shine on you and grant you peace. Amen."

I am standing as your parish Priest with the authority given to me to impact these blessings to you in all its entirety.
May you be blessed throughout this year 2024 and beyond.
All you need is to embrace this blessing by accepting God for who he is, God of love and tenderness.

The best way to respond to these blessings is total commitment to God.
Renewed vigour and zeal in his service.
Total resignation to his will.
Above all, trust in him and allow yourself to be used by him.
With this resignation to his will, nothing will be impossible for you.
All your dreams will come through and God will surely meet you at your point of needs.

Remember, we can do all things by the power of God who strengthens us, (phil. 4: 13).
So do not be afraid. Just play your part well for God's blessing of today will surely see you through.

May God Almighty grant you a fruitful and fulfilled year.

Rev. Fr. Dr. Bartholomew Akpan.
Parish Priest

I wish to use this happy season of the church to thank all of you for your selfless sacrifices and contribution for the growth of this parish and the Church in general.
Your effort would never go unrewarded.

May the birth of Christ we celebrate at this Christmas in spite of all odds give you the fullness of joy from above and grant you your heart desires.
May the favour of God be with all of you as He promised.
May God continue to bless and grant you your heart desires.
Do not be afraid.
Be confident for God is with you always, our Emmanuel.

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year in advance.

Very Rev. Fr. Dr. Bartholomew Akpan
Parish Priest
