- CATHOLIC WOMEN ORGANIZATION: This is to inform our parishioners that the plans for the launching for the CWO project has been postponed, a new date will be communicated in due time. The Mothers’ day celebration has also been cancelled. Reason: we have been asked from the Archdiocese to turn down the celebration due to the death of two parish presidents in the Archdiocese, and the death of our parish Treasurer’s husband, Mr. Benjamin Apeh. The Charity visit for Saturday 28th March will still take place, women are encouraged to send in their gifts via the zonal Leaders. Our Mothers day Thanksgiving will take place for only 8am Mass. Mothers are also encouraged to come out in mass with the NATIONAL UNIFORMS and Archdiocesan Uniforms in the case of those that don’t have the National. Through Mary our Mother we Succeed.
