TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND VISITORS...

Greetings from the Catholic Archdiocese of Onitsha, Office of the Auxiliary Bishop! ​What a joy to have you here! This website is intended to be an outlet to present some of our activities to promote the work of evangelization. It is in keeping with our favorite working Biblical quotation: "I desire to share with you not only the Good News of God but my entire self."  (1 Thess. 2,8).  ​PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD MAY BLESS OUR LITTLE EFFORTS. "Entirely for God".

The saints who toiled from place to place,
Spreading the Gospel of God's grace,
Now in their heavenly homeland dwell
With Christ, whom here they served so well.
​FAVOURITE GUIDING BIBLICAL PASSAGE
​
        "I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.  For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
​          Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you." (2 Timothy, 1,6-14)
