Our Lady of Perpetual Help - OLPH Sokoto

While Mass was ongoing, our CYONites were having a community service by washing the vehicles of parishioners who were at Mass.

This is their own way of appreciating the Parishioners.

Their Youth Week begins today with this singular way of creating memories and awareness for it.

We wish them well during their Annual Youth Week and encourage other youths of the Parish to join them during the whole program for the week..

Happy Youth Week to the Youths of OLPH, Sokoto

The CYON Members of our Parish were engaged on a Debate Competition organised by the CYON Members of the Holy Family Catholic Cathedral as part of their activities for their Parish Youth week.

Debate Topic: Marry for Love or Marry for Readiness and our Youths Debated in favour of Marrying for Readiness.

After the debate, the CYONites of OLPH came out victorious.

We appreciate and are proud of them for this success story; we pray that God will increase them mightily beyond measures in Jesus name.

Let's support our Youth by sharing this post, and following their page on Facebook.

Saint of the Day – St. Peter Chrysologus
Feast Day: July 30

Today we celebrate a saint whose gift was simple, clear, and powerful speech; St. Peter Chrysologus, whose name literally means "Golden Words."

He was not known for long-winded talks or complicated teachings. In fact, he believed that the truth of the Gospel should be shared in a way that touches the heart; and he did just that. As Bishop of Ravenna in the 5th century, his short and heartfelt sermons inspired both the everyday people and even the emperor of his time!

What made his preaching so special was not just his words; it was his love for Christ. He reminded people that Jesus is not far away or complicated. He is close, personal, and present in our daily lives.

"He is the Bread for the hungry, the Fountain for the thirsty, a Garment for the naked, Healing for the sick, Salvation for those who are lost." — St. Peter Chrysologus

Let us take a page from his book today: speak kindly, share your faith simply, and love deeply. Your words might be exactly what someone needs.

St. Peter Chrysologus, pray for us!

Dear Lord,

Thank You for the gift of this new week. Please be with our parishioners in every step they take. Give them strength when they feel weak, hope when they feel discouraged, and joy in all that they do.

Help them to trust You more and to spread love and kindness wherever they find themselves. Guide their thoughts, words, and actions so that they reflect Your light to everyone around them.

Watch over their families and loved ones, protect them from harm, and bless the work of their hands.

May this week bring them closer to You and fill their hearts with peace.

Amen.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Pray for us.
