At 10.00am, I was at Alor for a pastoral visit to St Charles' Parish. The Church is among the few in Onitsha archdiocese that is located upstairs. Today it was packed full. About 200 candidates received the Sacrament of Confirmation.
          When the altar was first dedicated, the position of the Tabernacle was slightly on the left when facing the altar. Now, Fr Gregory Okafor, the parish priest, modified its location and placed the Tabernacle at the centre of the sanctuary. I was very please to see this new arrangement. Today, I blessed it and installed the blessed Sacrament in it. Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus / Sine fine sanctus / Sempre Tibi gloria / Sacra sit sub Hostia.
          The Parish Priest also arranged and brought to the Church the sick and the elderly. I prayed and anointed them with the Oil of the sick.
          Immediately after the Mass, there was a grand reception by the Parish Community.  I took out time to visit a couple just behind the Church to take Holy Communion to the mother of the family and to anoint her. She has been on a wheel chair.
