Updates from Nigeria

10/09/2026
From Fr Mike Chigbata

I was able, through God’s providence, to acquire a parcel of land in Asaba, which I am now trying to develop. The immediate priority is to fence the property and subsequently begin the construction of a modest rectory.

I am therefore disposed and ready to receive Mass stipends, as well as donations from generous benefactors, towards this project.
Asaba remains one of the safer locations in the southeastern region of Nigeria, and I believe we can not afford to discontinue the apostolate here simply because of the difficulty of securing suitable accommodation. Establishing our own rectory would provide stability and enable us to continue serving the faithful without the uncertainty and burden of repeated relocations.

I humbly place this need before Your Excellency, asking especially for your prayers, blessings, and whatever assistance you may be able to offer.

May Our Lord reward you abundantly for your continued paternal care and generosity towards us.
With filial gratitude and prayers,

Yours sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Fr. Michael Chigbata
District Superior
Catholic Fidelity of St. Pius X Mission, Nigeria

And from Fr Joseph Onuorah —

Happy Sunday to you your Excellency, hope you are fine today. I wish to humbly inform you that we are starting Traditional Catholic school in Orlu. The name of the school is Our Lady of Mount Carmel Academy, Owerre-ebeiri, Orlu, Imo State, Nigeria.

If there are required Traditional Catholic books we should need you may help us provide as you come in November. But if they are many they can be sent through cargo.

We will be happy to accept your paternal advice and guidance for Traditional Catholic school my Lord.

Thank you my Lord.

Your blessings my Lord.
