My sister is a doctor who spent close to a decade in both rural Bolivia and rural Tanzania. I have four Tanzanian nephews whom she met as young orphans.  They have become part of our family and all have now graduated from colleges in northern Florida.

I know quite a bit about the third world, particularly the medical situation.  I also know that a notable part of many problems in such places is a lack of vision and poor planning.  Beginning construction before possessing the land necessary to complete the building is unacceptable and indicative of poor planning.

I appreciate a personal attack as much or as little as the next guy, but I see no need to reciprocate.

Godspeed.

There was no personal attack on you at all. Your criticism was unnecessary and undermining our efforts to help Fr Onuorah build his church. As you point out, poor planning is common in the third world, it is part of life. Help us to overcome that by remedying the situation with the land rather than dissuading others from contributing. Even if there were nothing being built, what a wonderful opportunity for the faithful to have a Gregorian Mass offered. Are you with us or against us? If you want a solid reassuring track record, just look at the videos and see the amazing results obtained so far. These good priests are worthy of our praise, not criticism. And as far as Fr Chigbata's cataract surgery is concerned, he was diagnosed, obtained a quote and then successfully raised the funds, nothing improper or poorly planned whatsoever. So jump on board GV, and get the support of that sister and nephews of yours. This is for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.

Bump!

Become an apostle for our missions!

Please help us by promoting this fundraising effort at your local Resistance chapel, both among the priests and the faithful. It would only take a little determination from each Mass centre to get the help we need for our missionaries:

Disappointingly, and rather surprisingly, there has been absolutely NO RESPONSE to this appeal throughout the entire Resistance world. How is that possible?

I have obtained 5 stipends from our little group here in Australia, that leaves another 20 that we still need in order to purchase the land. This stipend for an Australian is about 155% of the normal stipend for a Gregorian. For those in the US, it is simply the normal stipend suggested for a Gregorian. For those in Europe, I imagine it is somewhere in between. It is as much an opportunity for us faithful, as it is a helping hand for the missions.

So please, I am begging EVERY Resistance member and guest who comes onto this forum to take a PERSONAL INTEREST in helping the mission to obtain the necessary funds. If we don't help them, who will? You may not have a brass razoo, but can you not promote this among you family and friends, even SSPX friends, but especially at your Resistance Mass centres? Ask your priest/bishop to promote this appeal and help our poor brothers in the missions. Perhaps if someone in your congregation has recently passed away, you could take up a collection to have a Gregorian offered for the repose of their soul? Perhaps you are able to team up with two others and each take advantage of the Novenas instead?

I think this is so achievable if only there is the will out there to help these poor priests. There are surely 20 faithful scattered through the Resistance or their contacts who would want to take advantage of this opportunity to have a priest offer a Gregorian Mass.

PLEASE HELP!

THANK YOU!!

Nigeria has the second largest Catholic population in Africa with 35 million Catholics out of its 230 million inhabitants, the largest Catholic population being in the DR of Congo with 55 million. Imagine the harvest for Traditional Catholic priests among these simple folk. It truly is a worthy cause and our investment in this country may produce a much richer reward than a similar investment in our western countries. Please promote this appeal if you can so that our missionaries will have a beautiful church and land to attract souls.

Poor Fr Onuorah is living in appalling conditions for a priest. Here is what he wrote me today:

On the appeal for Gregorian Masses you sent in the Cathinfo,  nothing yet. Nobody contacted me for it. I only received an email from (...) yesterday that he sent USD 100 to PayPal account as his little donation..
 
Actually since I joined Resistance, I never bargained to be a burden to anyone in anyway at all, either in building Chapel or in anything, but it is the circuмstances I found myself that unavoidably pushed me to be struggling to build.  I know that it is not easy for anyone around the world, everyone is struggling to survive wherever he or she is. Personally I would have preferred to be secluded, just offer my Mass, say my prayers and relax. But I find myself in the midst of poor faithfuls who need Traditional Latin Mass and having new converts from time to time, hence the need to have a permanent place for the worship of God and nurture this growing faith in the Catholic Tradition. So I don't know what is the will of God for the future, growth and spread of Traditional Latin Mass here in Nigeria and the world.
 
Presently I am still living in a rented apartment  paying house rent annually.  I am living with the landlord and his family who are not even novus ordo Catholics at all not to talk of Traditional Catholics. They have big poultry farm and dog farm inside the compound with the offensive odours oozing out sometimes. It is difficult to get a house here where the priest will live alone. The commercial houses here are where one must live with other tenants and or with the landlord and his family.  It is not funny at all because I face a lot of distractions and unbearable noise from the hotel club near the apartment which are not compatible with the priestly life and formation.  

But all the sacrifices are to promote the Traditional Latin Mass and nurture the faith of the people. The chapel we are using now is under temporary condition though our consolation is that even we are chased out today, we can even use palm fronds to make canopy in our new Church building site and offer Mass inside it provided it does not rain. 

I thank you most sincerely for your sincere efforts to see us get through...


Please do what you can to help us find another 20 Gregorian Mass stipends to secure this work for Fr Onuorah for the spread of Tradition in Nigeria.
