On Sunday, September 29 the Nigerian community of Mary, Mother of God Parish invited us all to celebrate Nigeria’s 64th anniversary of independence. They sponsored the 10:30 AM Mass at Saint Ita church and hosted a party afterwards for everyone in Jubilee Hall. There was plentiful Nigerian food, and no one was left hungry! Thank you to the Nigerian community for organizing this annual celebration for the parish, and thank you to honored guests Fr. Stan Chu Ilo and Fr. Simon Njoroge OFM, Conv. for celebrating the Mass. Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Nigeria, pray for the well-being of our sisters and brothers both in Nigerian and of Nigerian descent. Amen! *Photos courtesy of parish volunteer Wes Kinard and parishioner Dumas Guzman.
