Peter University Achina/Onneh Holds Maiden Matriculation Ceremony

For the communities of Achina/Oneh and the Catholic Dioceses of Awka and Ekwulobia, it was a dream come true as Peter University held her maiden Matriculation Ceremony on Friday, 19 April 2024 at the University's Auditorium attended by the academia, priests, religious and other dignitaries.

The ceremony, which indoctrinated the students, served as the formal opening of the institution for her pioneer students into the 2023/2024 academic journey of her undergraduate students.

The matriculation ceremony which began with a holy Mass, was presided by the co-proprietor, His Eminence, Peter Ebere Cardinal Okpaleke.

While delivering his homily, His Eminence, Peter Ebere Cardinal Okpaleke, thanked those who toiled hard in making the dream of the University come true. In a special way, he thanked the benefactors of the institution, adding that the bishops of Awka, Ekwulobia and Nnewi Dioceses were happy to see the vision of the University come alive.

In his address to the students, the bishop also called on the newly admitted students to be co-creators and Inventors, adding that the the institution had all it to took to put them in the global space of learning, particularly as they had invested so much in Information Technology, which according to him, had opened the world's knowledge.

His Eminence also charged the students to not just dream but also work smart and hard. He stressed that it was only through working smart that dreams could be achieved.

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Very Rev. Fr Prof Emmanuel Umezinwa, in his matriculation address, also corroborated the words of His Eminence by charging the students to see the University's environment as a place where their dreams could be achieved.

The event which was attended by the Governor of Anambra State, Governor Chukwuma Soludo; former Governor, Peter Obi; VCs of many universities; the academia, traditional rulers and professionals from different walks of life, had breaking of the kola nut, oath taking, declaration of loyalty amongst others, as the major highlights.

5 SERVANTS OF GOD IN NIGERIA

In response to a question asked by a commentator on my Facebook post yesterday, I now confirm that there are five ‘Servants of God’ on the path to sainthood in the Catholic Church in Nigeria.

Servant of God is the first of four stages before one is declared a Saint. The ‘Servants of God’ are:

1. Fr. Abraham Anselm Ojefua: founder of the Order of Knights of St Mulumba, died in 1988, aged 78.

2. Bishop Michael Eneja: third Bishop of Enugu Diocese from 1978 to 1996, died in 2008, aged 89.

3. Archbishop Gabriel Gonsum Ganaka: second Bishop and first Archbishop of Jos from 1974 until his death in 1999, aged 62.

4. Vivian Uchechi Ogu: 14-year old Catholic girl who resisted being sexually defiled by armed robbers and was killed (in Benin City archdiocese) in 2009.

5. Fr. Aaron Ejikemeuwa Ekwu: priest of Awka Diocese, ordained in 1965 in Vienna Austria, served in Austria and Nigeria and died in a fatal car accident in 1989, aged 53.

Fides Media Family holds First Monday of the Month Mass

Today, 8th April 2024, the Fides Media family celebrated her first Monday of the Month Holy Mass. The Mass which was supposed to be held last week was re-scheduled today because of the Easter activities was presided over by the Rev. Fr. Constantine Okoli, the Deputy Director of Fides Media.

During the homily, the Deputy Director reflecting on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, extolled all present to allow themselves to be used as valuable instruments through which God's purpose would be accomplished in the world. "We are God's hands, feet, and eyes; Our God, before whom nothing is impossible, may not work for Himself and for us without us ", he said.

Before the end of the Mass, the Director, Rev. Fr. Dr. Robert Anagboso encouraged the staff to put in their best in the service of humanity through their commitment to work. "Every work done badly or well has infinitesimal effects", the director said.
