St. Patrick’s Catholic Church kulende was filled with immense Joy as our  three beloved sisters, Jennifer Orban, Perpetua Ojiko and Regina Ahula made their first vows. Surrounded by an out pouring of love, support and prayers they courageously dedicated themselves to a life of selfless service to God and humanity.

Vowing Obedience, Poverty, and Chastity, they offered all to God in joy and peace for the sake of God’s kingdom.

Happy for Easter Holidays

Education
Pupils of Saint Peter Nursery and Primary school, Ndeaboh, Enugu State

Some Basic six pupils of Saint Peter Nursery and Primary school were happy saying goodbye to school for the Easter holidays. They all passed their second term examination and that contributed to their joy.

Having worked hard for the term and were successful, they thanked God for the hard work and the achievements. Some of them will be spending the holidays with their family members they’ve not seen for a while. It will be a thing of joy to see them again, they said.

Easter is a season of joy, peace and love. They intend sharing the joy, peace and love of God with everyone.
