It was a blissful day for the 80 couples that received their sacrament of matrimony blessings on Sunday, November 27th, at St
Sylvester's Catholic Church, New Nyanya in Karu Local Government Area of
Nasarawa Statexx The Holy Mass was officiated by His Lordship, Most Revd Dr
Ishaya Mathew Audu, Catholic bishop of Lafia Diocese, Nasarawa State. In a
statement signed by the public relations officer the Church, Ewache Ajefu, the
church said that the ceremony was unique and historic in the history of St.
Sylvester Catholic Church.
The marriage ceremony
and the Sacrament of Confirmation put together by the Parish Priest of St.
Sylvester Catholic Church, Lawrence Anyembugu, were part of the key activities
lined up for first pastoral visit of the Bishop to the Independent Mission.
Speaking at the
occasion, the Bishop admonished the couples to cloth themselves with the love
of Christ in order to have a sustainable marriage life, stressing that marriage
without love is meaningless. Citing many examples of causes of breakage in
marriage life, Bishop Audu called on them to avoid pitfalls that would lead to
regrets, adding that exemplary Christian life was key to successful marriage.
