  • This really is an urgent last minute appeal for financial help.

    Please see this post from November by Matthew on the Nigerian Resistance for information about their apostolate:

    I received this email from Fr Onuorah 4 days ago:

    Greetings in Our Risen Lord Jesus Christ...  To God be all glory. 

    Please don't be offended.  We have only this one week remaining in this month of April to complete the payment for the land I told you about in February as written in the agreement with the owner. By the grace of God through people's donations and Mass stipends...  we have been able to raise and pay up to US$ 8,000, remaining about $9,000. If anyone can still help us please we still need help. Thank you so much and God bless you. 

    Be assured of my continued prayers. 

    God Bless. 

    Sincerely yours in the Risen Lord, 

    Rev. Father Joseph Onuorah.

    Bank details for Fr Chigbata are on Matthew's post at the link above.

    Just yesterday, I was reading these words in The Glories of Divine Grace by Fr Matthias Scheeben:
    "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy". (Matt. 5:7). "Give and it shall be given unto you". (Luke 6:38). The mercy and charity that we show others is so pleasing to God and so meritorious that, on the day of judgment, Our Lord, in accounting the works to be rewarded, will mention only those of mercy, and in the case of the reprobates, will only assign the neglect of these works as the cause of their damnation. In the dispensation of grace, God generally follows the same rule as in the dispensation of the eternal reward. He will be generous to us in this dispensation in proportion to our generosity towards our neighbour. For we deny God what we deny our fellow men since they are the children and members and temples of God. We give God what we give them, for He accepts it as if we had given it to Him." (Ch. 55)

  • Father Onuorah was able at the last moment to settle the land purchase for a future chapel for the "St Pius X Catholic Fidelity" in Nigeria.

    I have learned that this land was owned by the Catholic Church who were in the process of building a Cathedral but for some reason they stopped and decided to sell it off cheaply - less than the cost of the land price. Fr Onuorah feels he may be able to use what has been constructed as a basis for their chapel. 

    Apparently all the funds required came from one small group. Hopefully other benefactors will be forthcoming to help with the ongoing development of this mission.
