t
was an interesting and wonderful day on Monday 3rd October, 2016
at the Church’s premises as St. Thomas Catholic Church, Papa and her new
outstation, Catholic Church of The Ascension, Madaga were given a treat
in a
send-forth party. Papa and Magada Churches had been outstations of St.
Paul Ibafo until September when St. Thomas Catholic Church, Papa was
elevated to the status of a full-Parish with Church of Ascension, Madaga
as her first outstation. The venue of the event was filled to capacity
with
parishioners from across Ibafo attended the event. Also in attendance
were Rev.
Fr. Anthony O. Umana (Parish Priest, St. Thomas – Papa), Rev. Fr.
Mathias Olutan
(Assistant Parish Priest, St. Paul – Ibafo), Parish Pastoral Council
Vice-Chairmen of the Churches in attendance, and their Laity Council
Chairmen
also. CWO of the three churches, in their regalia, were also fully
represented at
the event.
The events began with the Holy Mass at 11am and then followed by the
party. At the opening of the party, attendees listened to a presentation by a
representative of the CMO on the first lecture for the Catechetical Week.
Adding more spice to the party were the various competitions organized
for the CYON of the three Churches (St. Paul, St. Thomas and Church of
Ascension). There was a Cooking Match, a Drama Contest, a Dance Competition, a
Choreography competition and a non-competitive Dance-Drama presentation on the “Unity
of the youth.” Attendees were wowed at the display of great talents of the CYON
members in any of the categories of the competitions. In his reaction Rev. Fr.
Peter Adigun (an adjudicator for the competitions) lauded the effort of the
Parish Priest of St. Paul Ibafo, Rev. Fr. Miguel Gomez for encouraging the
competitive program for the Youths.
