We want to thank all those who have offered prayers and entreaties for the quick release of our Priest and others who are still in the dens of their kidnappers. We pray God to hasten the release of those who are still in the hands of their captors.
All our Priests are directed to kindly celebrate Mass of Thanksgiving to God tomorrow, 5th July, 2022 for the quick release of Fr. Emmanuel Silas.
