branch Union and the Reverend Fr. Chikwado Udaya, the Parish Priest of St.
Patrick’s Ibenda with his parishioner’s’ representatives.
The

spiritual and overall development of Ibenda Obollo Autonomous Community. Among other
things discussed and agreed with the Priest was the proposal to Make Town
Union, Enugu Branch a zone of the Parish. The idea was a welcome development
going by the past experiences we have had. Easy access to the benefits as a
parishioner was considered valuable to the decision

Some
challenges of the parishioners spiritual life as a new Parish was x-rayed to include
but not limited to, Chapel for Blessed Sacrament, completion of the Parish
House, resurrection of the Church building and improving the faith of the
Faithfull among other things.
The much
work so far done by the Parish Priest was acknowledged while his promise to
work with the new Traditional ruler, “Ekpo II”
of Ibenda to ensure speedy
development and understanding is also welcomed.
He admonished us to be very weary of Satan and its antics because Satan
can never be happy nor rest to see a unified community like Ibenda. He attributed past crisis that nearly
engulfed the community to the handy work of Satan.
The Rv. Fr.
Udaya prayed for us and the Community in
general.
