    Ladislaus, you are a champion, God bless you! Please God this will reach a lot more people.
    You've done a great job with the presentation. Where did you find those photos of Father's conditional ordination?

    Father sent me the photos, and quite a few more.  I can forward them along and post them here.  I really didn't do much ... as it only took a few minutes to put this together based on photos that Father sent me.  They don't exactly line up properly in the user interface, but the editing capabilities in it aren't very good.

    Excellent job, thanks a million. Sure, it would be great to have more photos posted.
    This just makes donating and sharing with others so easy.
    I haven't really promoted this fundraiser locally yet, I will start doing that in about a week.

    If you haven't checked out Ladislaus' new crowd funding page for the Nigerian mission, have a look and share it with others:

    • Unfortunately I'm not seeing much activity.  Even a little bit, like $5 can add up if enough people throw something in.  When I cleaned up and posted those seminary classes from Bishop Williamson, I got over 200 subscribers and I did send an e-mail out to all of them with information ... but not too much of a response yet.  I know people have other causes to donate to, but if each of those 200 just gave $5, that would be $1,000 less they need out of the 25K, so anything helps.

    As mentioned, I started corresponding with Father after requesting Gregorian Masses ... something that's very hard to come by anywhere else, and I'm surprised no one else has taken advantage of it.  Only other place you can get them is through SSPX ... and there not only do they reserve the right to send it to any priest (including ones not conditionally ordained), but one individual here expressed frustrations that he had heard nothing after 2 years and then had to pester them for a long time before those got offered.

    • UPDATE:

    Fr Onuorah now has received 7 Gregorian Mass stipends (USD7000) out of the goal of 25, that is just past the quarter mark for our fundraiser. We need another 18. Can you help by promoting it among your family and friends who may have lost a loved one and may be looking to have a Gregorian Mass offered?

    It is so easy to contribute to the cause now with this crowdfunding page which Ladislaus has kindly set up for us. You can also use this facility to arrange a Gregorian Mass:

    https://giveahand.com/fundraiser/st-michaels-catholic-church-construction

    Even if we just had a couple of hundred Resistance folk who visit this forum go on and donate $20, what a helping hand for Fr Onuorah. Don't think that any amount is too small. And it's as easy as paying for your coffee!

    In addition to this fundraiser, we have started here in Australia a monthly collection for the mission to give Fr Onuorah some regular income that he can rely on to enable him to plan his building works. This month of June we were able to transfer to him just on USD$1000. So we really are making some progress, and with just a little more help we can solve this issue of the land for him so that he can keep going with his construction. Look at the videos if you haven't already done so, it's amazing what he has achieved.

    • Two and a half thousand times this thread has been read. That is surely over a thousand souls who have passed by. Yet we only have 3 donors to Ladislaus' crowdfunding initiative. It's so easy to give. Can you lend a hand by shouting the missions a coffee or two?

    I can't speak for everyone but many traditional Catholic families I know are very stretched for funds... 

    One family I know barely makes enough to put food on the table.  We try to help them when we can but this economy and the raised price of everything doesn't help.

    I used almost all of the inheritance money my Grandmother left me a few years ago to have Gregorian Masses offered for her and my grandfather after she died.  I would not have been able to afford this if it had not been for the inheritance.  None of my family are traditional Catholics and so I wanted to make sure I had the Masses take place.  There were many other things we could have used the money for...but I have no regrets using it for the Gregorian Masses instead.

    So...  Some of us might not be able to offer money but we offer what we can...

    Prayers for Father Onuorah, the church and the mission over there.  :pray:

    Thank you AMDGJMJ, I am sure Father values all the prayers very much.
    There's no question, many families are struggling to make ends meet and there are many calls on their charity.
    But for all those who don't even have to think twice about going to the pub tonight and shouting a round, may they also consider shouting a round or two for the missions!
    And even better if everyone who comes upon this thread could make known to their family and friends this great opportunity to assist the souls of their departed loved ones by having a Gregorian Mass offered.
    I am certain that if I could only stir up the zeal of a few souls out there in one or two of the Mass centres, we could easily get this church built for Fr Onuorah.
    May God bless all for their spiritual and material support.

    Lend a hand if you can:

    • Do you want to have a Gregorian Mass offered for a departed loved one? It can easily be arranged here, while at the same time supporting our Nigerian missionaries: 

    https://giveahand.com/fundraiser/st-michaels-catholic-church-construction

    We have now passed the USD$10000 mark in our fundraiser, but we are still about $15000 short of what is required. Please spread the word among your family and friends and at your Mass centre.
