Day 2: Monday, December 18, 2023, 4:00pm: This day witnessed a Friendly Football Match between Priests from Owerri Archdiocese and Ahiara Diocese @ Sacred Heart Parish Nguru Centre (Field) with the ceremonial kick-off taken, with a professional right foot, by the Bishop-Elect, Msgr Simeon Okezuo Nwobi, CMF.
The images speak better, as spectators seemed to be overwhelmed with immense joy and delightful anticipation of having an Auxiliary bishop in their midst than watch their Parish Priests move the round leather in heavy studs. However, the controlling thesis, or rather, the underpinning fact remains the same — Ahiara Clergy and faithful are unanimously happy and want to express their thanks to God and pledge unalloyed collaborative and supportive hand to the Auxiliary Bishop-Elect, Msgr Okezuo, CMF.
The day ended with a celebrated Evening Liturgical Prayers, the Vespers, followed by a light soiree.
Something of great joy is taking place in Ahiara Docese of the ancient Mbaise land of Imo State, South Eastern Region of Nigeria. Let`s go!
