FUNERAL MASS FOR FR. RAPHAEL ADEBAYO Today Thursday 12 January, 2023. 10am. Holy Cross Cathedral,
I began a Catechism class today with some children in the parish where I am currently serving. One of the central questions to them was: “Why do we pray before meals?” If you are among those who doubt the influence of movies on young minds, then come and listen to the answer they innocently gave.
Dearest friends, the Church made it possible that everyone of her members should pray for the dead at least 1095 times every year. Do you know how that is possible?

Dearest friends, this Latin title: ‘Salus animarum suprema lex‘ simply means this: ‘The Salvation of Souls is the Supreme Law.’ It is truly the summary of everything that the Church is and does; as well as what the priests are and do (Cf. Can. 1752). The priests exist because of the above. Therefore, priests are meant
Just yesterday, as I was walking towards the parish gate around 9:00pm, a young boy ran up to me and was crying ceaselessly. According to him, his father was at the verge of DEATH and that the mum sent him to go and call any priest in the parish. Immediately, I went back to the
