…First holy communion, done and dusted. Congratulations son ❤️🙌❤️🙏 While preparing for his First Holy Communion, I searched for his baptismal card and happened to find mine too. Flipping through it, I realized my own First Holy Communion took place around this same time 35 years ago, back in 1991, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Ladipo. I remember attending every morning and evening Mass for many months after my first holy communion, until I eventually got tired of receiving Communion. Pondering the differences between our time and theirs, I realized that attending catechism back then was an adventure. We happily trekked to church in pairs, and when the spirit of truancy hit, we skipped classes in pairs, too! For Ben’s attendance to catechism omo..it was a combined attendance by us all lol! If it was not the Mom, it was me bringing him to classes sitting and waiting till he was done, I cannot imagine allowing him to go to church alone; my heart would nearly burst with worry. I am just imagining my Mom taking me to catechism lol 😂, my late Dad that was even a Catechist would never bother doing that. It was our responsibility. Children today are wise in technical ways far beyond what we were, but in terms of physical and street-smart situations, they aren't quite as sharp. I am hoping to help him learn to handle himself in both worlds, but e no easy. Anyway, we pray that God will continue to give us the grace to do our bit and be present for all their milestones. Amen. 🙏 #highlight #firstholycommunion #catholic #lifestylewithbnb #communicant #Catechumen

The year was 1996. While the trade winds of Onitsha swirled outside, a different kind of atmosphere was brewing within the hallowed walls of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Inland Town. It was Mandy Thursday, and I was just a primary school student about to touch the hem of the Divine. We stood in a shimmering line—a sea of starch-stiffened white. There is a specific kind of purity found only in a child’s First Holy Communion. We weren’t just students anymore; we were a battalion of little saints. I remember the quiet rustle of our clothes, the smell of lavender and pressed cotton, and the feeling that for the first time in my life, I was part of something eternal. As we began the procession toward the Altar, the world outside St. Mary’s ceased to exist. Every step on those cool tiles felt like a climb toward Heaven. Our small hands were folded in prayer, our eyes wide with a mix of awe and holy terror. We were walking toward the "Real Presence," and the gravity of it made the air feel thick with grace. Then, the choir began. They didn’t just sing; they poured out soulful, Igbo liturgical hymns that pierced the soul. The harmonies rose to the vaulted ceilings of Inland Town, mingling with the heavy scent of frankincense. It was a sound that could melt the hardest heart—angelic, haunting, and deeply grounded in our roots. When the Host finally touched my tongue, a profound stillness settled over me. The chaos of the city, the noise of the schoolyard—it all faded. As the shadows lengthened over the Niger that evening, I carried home a memory that would never dim. 1996 at St. Mary’s wasn’t just a ceremony; it was the moment my heart found its rhythm. Some nights are written in ink, but this one was written in light. 🕯️✨ #FirstHolyCommunion

Last Sunday, the Year 3 children who are on their Sacramental journey joined Father Edmund and the parishioners for Mass. It was wonderful to come together as a parish community. #pray #firstreconciliation #firstholycommunion
