Dear Friends, Family, and Medical Team,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the boundless kindness, prayers, comforting words, and generous support—both emotional and financial—that you offered before, during, and after my eye surgeries on July 14 and July 17, 2025. Your selfless care played an indispensable part in the success of the surgeries and my ongoing recovery.
I am delighted to let you know that the surgeries were successful, and healing continues steadily. With daily use of the prescribed medications, my vision grows clearer and more vibrant with each passing day. Your support has been a light in this journey—lifting my spirits and fueling my hope.
As I promised before the surgery, I will dedicate the entire month of October to praying for your individual intentions in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Additionally, I plan to invoke the intercession of St. Joseph, patron saint of the Church and guardian of families, during the October devotions. May this devotion bring abundant grace, peace, and blessings into every aspect of your lives.
I would like also to extend special appreciation to the medical team, especially Dr. (Mrs.) Temitope Tijani, for her exceptional professionalism, humility, and compassionate care. Your remarkable expertise and gentle manner made all the difference. May God continue to bless you with wisdom, insight, and growing excellence in medical practice.
Thank you once again for being a source of strength, encouragement, and healing. I remain truly grateful to all of you.
Very sincerely yours in Jesus Christ,
Fr. Michael Chigbata
Superior, Catholic Fidelity of St. Pius X Mission, Nigeria
