Dear Mr ..........., 

Greetings from Maria Virgo Fidelis Priory Anaku. I hope this message meets you in good health. How are doing, your family also?

First of all kindly accept my heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering financial support and sincere concern for our missions here in Nigeria. It is still very fresh in my mind the assistance you rendered for Fr Mike's eye operation and Fr Joseph's buying of lands for the Church building not the mention the former ones. Your solidarity, especially in difficult times are more than a verbal expression can articulate.

Sir, I must speak to you openly and honestly. In recent times, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, designated Nigeria as a “Country of particular concern” due to the increasing Christian genocide that has become too rampart. Sadly, this is not an exaggeration—it is a reality we live with. Our country Nigeria is passing through one of the most precarious and painful moments in her history. The situation has taken on a troubling religious dimension in which Christians have become direct targets. It is heartbreaking and deeply distressing.

Despite these challenges, I am ever resolute especially whenever I look at the God-given growing number of children in my Priory. They are our hope of continuing this "operation survival" of the Traditional Latin Mass. I need a secured environment for their proper upbringing. Yet I must candidly tell you that the violence remains far from stable.

There is significant security tension in Anaku my current area of apostolate. Anaku is an agrarian rural community in Anambra State populated by peasant farmers with vast stretches of fertile land covered in green vegetation. Unfortunately, this has made it a prime target for herdsmen seeking grazing grounds. Earlier this year, a planned attack on the community was narrowly averted, but the threat persists. These armed groups—often linked to larger extremist movements—have devastated many communities across Nigeria. They are now camped around Anaku, heavily armed and poised to unleash violence at any provocation. The uncertainty and fear are overwhelming.

However, in response to these mounting threats, I have decided to take a safety measure in order to protect lives and properties in our Priory. At this very moment, the most urgent and critical need is raising the fencing and putting big gates in our Priory.  That was the place where our dear Bishop Paul Morgan administered the sacrament of confirmation to our members in November last year. This protective measure has become essential to deter intruders and prevent forced trespass by roaming herdsmen who move unpredictably and without restraint. Securing the Priory is no longer optional—it is a matter of safety, survival, and responsible stewardship.

This message of mine sir is therefore an earnest and urgent plea for financial assistance. I'm willing to accept free will donations and Mass stipends.

Some of our faithful are now afraid to access their farmlands due to these armed groups who have occupied the surrounding areas kidnapping, assaulting, and killing innocent people. Our people are living in fear, stripped of safety and the ability to provide for their families. The situation is heartbreaking and calls for immediate attention.

I sincerely thank you once again sir for your concern, your prayers, and your constant financial support. You are a great source of encouragement to us. May God continue to show you, family and friends his mercies through Christ our Lord. 

Sincerely yours in Jesus and Mary ,
Fr. Christopher Nduefuna.

I don't know the history of this mission, how long it has been in existence, how many faithful etc.

Anambra state is in the south of the country, not the north which is the traditional area of concern. It may well be a case of trouble will find you wherever you go... we might be next!

Whatever the reason, help is needed. "As long as you did it to one of these my least brethren you did it to me".

If I am giving alms, it'll be to my actual neighbor according to his verifiable needs.  Good day and godspeed.
