At 10.05am, I was at St Mary's Parish Umudora-Anam for a pastoral visit. Rough roads from Aguleri to the venue for today's celebration.  I arrived earlier than the time scheduled. So, I had time to inspect the parish books, and discuss with the Parish Priest, Fr John Paul Onyeogubalu, some pastoral strategies for evangelization in the area. I directed him to explore ways for integral education of the children and school apostolate in the in the area. I had time to meet two young Sisters of Emmanuel Institute whom I invited for vocation drive. I was delighted to see that they had roofed the Church. 
          Holy Mass at 11.00am. About forty persons received the Sacrament of Confirmation. I supported the Emmanuel Sisters to speak about vocations to religious life. Religious Sisters are urgently needed in the area. O God, help us to find collaborators in Anam.
