AICLA, Abuja-Nigeria: March 16-17, 2022. The Young Missionaries of the Delegation West Nigeria, expectedly, as the title suggests—within five years in their ministry—gathered at the African Institute of Consecrated Life, Abuja (AICLA) on March 16-17, 2022, for their Quinquennium. Traditionally, it is an important renewal programme in line with Claretian Formation Plan, in this case, ongoing formation.

- Fr Gabriel John Useni, CMF – Bursar, Claret Secondary School, Kabba

The facilitator, Fr. Peter Okonkwo, Cmf, the Delegation Prefect of Formation, admonished the Young Missionaries to remember their consecration at their priestly ordination and to find their root in Christ whenever difficult experiences in their places of apostolate attempt to wind-up their initial joy of embracing the Claretian Missionary Charism. He further advised them to be audacious in rendering their missionary services to the Congregation and the people of God.
Please continue to pray for these young Claretian Missionaries.
