After years of fruitful and meritorious service to the
Nigerian/English Catholic Community of Ss Simon and Jude Catholic Church, Rome,
the community had a beautiful Thanksgiving / Send Forth for their Chaplain,
Rev. Fr. Dr. Anthony Okolo, CSSp.
Fr Tony, a Nigerian Spiritan Priest has been a generous and loving
brother and member of NIPRELS. The body can testify to his loving kindness both
to the organization as a body and to its members individually. He is a member
in whom we can proudly say that we are well pleased.
This was why a cross section of priests, religious and
seminarians gathered at Ss Simon and Jude on Sunday, 3rd of April
2016 to bid him farewell as he concludes his assignment with the
Nigerian/English Community. The Holy Eucharist was celebrated and there were refreshment
and colourful entertainment afterwards.
A large number of the Nigerian/English Community were also present
at the colourful occasion. They thanked God for the unique gift and person Fr
Tony had been to them. They were also sad that he would be leaving them.
We wish Fr Tony Gods favour in his next assignment.
