Fidelis ENWEMEKA

Jesus the Prince of Peace Prayer Group of St Peter Catholic Church along Iganmode Road, Ota, Abeokuta Diocese Ogun State, celebrated its 30 years Anniversary from 6-8 August 2025 in the Church premises. The theme of the programme was “Undeniable Evidence of God's Presence.”

Speaking on the topic: “Because God is Involved”, the parish's Prayer Group Coordinator Brother Amarachi Anyawu encouraged the participants to always trust God in their endeavors because anyone who truly trusts God can never be disappointed.

The second speaker on day two of the programme was Brother Jude Chukwuma. He spoke on ‘Silent Killer Diseases’. He identified High Blood Pressure, Hepatitis and kidney related diseases as some of the silent killers which can strike on short notice. He advised the participants to ensure they go for periodic medical examinations to put these diseases at bay.

 

 

Brother Praise Philip from Lagos Archdiocese spoke on the theme of the anniversary. There were questions and answers sessions at the end of the lectures

Mrs. Patience Madu, former Coordinator of the Prayer Group and member of Service of Communion Ota Deanery, used the occasion to point out that one major challenge the Charismatic Movement is facing in the Catholic Church is the notion that Charismatic Renewal Movement is an Igbo organization. She said that the Charismatic Renewal Movement is open to all Catholics and urged the faithful not to discriminate against one another as all are one in the Lord.

The programme ended with thanksgiving on Sunday, August 10. This was followed with cutting of the anniversary cake, cultural dance and refreshments.
