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.  

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:

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.

This is a final plug for Fr Onuorah and his church construction and land acquisition project.

There has been essentially zero interest in the crowdfunding page set up by Ladislaus: four donations, two by me and I suspect at least one by Ladislaus to get it up and running. There is little encouragement from anyone I contact outside of our local group which surprises me. We are close to raising half the money, mostly from local fundraising efforts and a couple of generous Gregorian stipends from overseas. If you can help by circulating it on social media, at your Mass centre, among your Trad friends, or in whatever other way you can think of, it might find a few benefactors who can get us over the line. Please pray for Fr Onuorah and his apostolate in Nigeria.

I've just received an email from Fr Onuorah which is very edifying:

Thank you so much my dear brother... for the Masses,  donations and stipends.  I am very grateful.  May God bless you and reward you and the donors both now and forever through Jesus Christ Our Lord.  Amen.
It is obvious that it is very difficult to get our expected target of $25,000 through 25 Gregorians in order to pay for the land.  However, we thank God for the much we have been able to get. Everything is in God's hands.  The land is His own,  the chapel/Church is His own,  the work is His own. Whatever be His divine will, I accept it, we accept it. We can only do the much we can, or the much He permits us to do,  and we leave the rest for Him. Sometimes it becomes despairing, but we keep trusting God. I never bargained to build Church, but circuмstances pushed me into it. I know it is a heavy task to carry that's why I became afraid from the beginning,  but I don't know what is the will of God for allowing the circuмstances and providing the property to start the building in the first place.
Meanwhile,  I remain always eternally grateful to you for your doggedness.  You are one in a million.  Greet your group for me. You people have been a great source of encouragement to me and to us in Nigerian mission.  You have been the pillars carrying the heavy financial loads for us most of the time leaving your own behind. God remains your eternal reward forever.  Nobody can reward you except God.
Be assured of my continued prayers for you.
Send my kind regards to everyone.
God bless.

Yours in Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Rev. Fr. Joseph Onuorah.
