Just as the Sun's bright light shown above the horizon to blossom life into every living creature, that was the same luminescence experienced on this fateful day, January 29th, 2022. An epoch-making day in the existence of St. Peter Catholic Church, Ota in Ogun State.
It witnessed many people from all walks of life trouping into the church en masse to witness and celebrate with the congregation, the ceremony of dedicating a magnificent edifice to God as a consecrated house for worship and prayers.
A long planned programme that had everyone in agog since the completion of the church building dated years back.
I was previleged to attend this function as well having heard so much about it right from the year 2020 when I was a member of the National Association of the Catholic Corpers (NACC) serving at that time.
The preparation towards it was always in top gear with church members always engaging in launching and fundraising ceremonies as build-up to the actual event almost every sunday. This again, really got everyone anticipating for the D-day.
Finally, we've witnessed it at last and it gives me great pleasure sharing the joy with my Blurtians family of it all.
The ceremony had the church entrance remodelled and repainted to a fitting architectural design for the occasion.
The Bishop of Abeokuta Diocese here in Nigeria together with his host of clergymen were present during the dedication ceremony and it was beautified with loads of performances, displays, dances and all manners of jubilation from the church members.
I got the privilege of meeting with my close friend from childhood who travelled into to Lagos almost 10 years ago.
It was a wonderful occasion and getting to meet a friend that we mostly converses on WhatsApp was a beautiful part of it that led us into snapping pictures to keep the memory alive.
I'm really contented now having witnessed the epoch-making dedication ceremony of St. Peter Parish in Ota and I'd love to enjoin the entire faithful to keep the faith and zeal in God's work alive.
Congratulations to the Catholic faithfuls in Ota!
Cheers to greater heights!!
🎉More years of God's faithfulness and blessings!!!
