Mass Wedding: Catholic Priest Sponsors 136 Couples In Nasarawa State by exlinkleads(f): 7:16am On Feb 18, 2018
The Parish Priest in charge of St Sylvester Catholic Church, New Nyanya, Nasarawa State, Rev. Fr. Lawrence Soja-Anyembugu in his goodwill has sponsored the wedding of 136 couples within two weeks.

Father Soja-Anyembugu, announced this to newsmen on Saturday during the marriage matrimony of 83 couples in commemoration of his 10th priestly anniversary in St Patrick Catholic Church, Akwanga, Akwanga Local Government Area of the state.

According to him, the step will also enable those who did not marry in the church to receive the sacrament of holy matrimony and to get their marriage blessed.

“I have decided to celebrate my 10th priestly anniversary to sponsored mass wedding for people who indicated their interest to have their marriage blessed in the church. "As at Feb. 3, I have sponsored 53 couples in St Sylvester Catholic Church, New Nyanya.

“Today, I have sponsored 83 couples making a total of 136 couples to enable them get the sacrament of holy matrimony as well as to give them a sense of belonging,” he said.

The priest called on the couples to continue to be patient, tolerate one another for them to have a peaceful home, adding that marriage is all about endurance and patience. "The importance of church marriage cannot be over-emphasised as it will promote peace among the couples and also enable them to get more blessings and God’s favour.”

Soja-Anyembugu, called on the couples and other Nigerians to live exemplary lives by inculcating moral values in their children and for the overall development of the country.

He also advised Christians and other Nigerians against engaging in unruly behaviours and other sharp practices, so that they can inherit the kingdom of heaven. The cleric called on the members of the church and Nigerians to be law abiding and respect constituted authorities and engage in activities that would promote peace and unity of the country.

Earlier, Prof. Cletus Tanimu Gotan, the Vicar General, Jos Archdiocese, who is also the guest preacher at the occasion called on the couples to live peacefully with each other in order to inherit the kingdom of God. He quoted many verses in the bible that preached love, affection, calling on the couples and Nigerians to show love and live in unity with one another in the interest of development.

News Agency of Nigeria reports that the wedding ceremony was attended by many well wishers including the Nasarawa State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs. Mary Enwongulu, politicians, priests, traditional and religion leaders among others.

lots of unmarried women looking for husbands and lots of unmarried men having financial issues to afford a wedding bout, most women are unaware of the finances of having a wedding all they know is to get married, the good ones help the man manage and plan the wedding, when the man finally says he's not having any cash some get hysterical

Most Christians are quick to insult Muslims and demonize Islam because it is very difficult to rationalize their basic foundation of belief (how a human died and rose up, then got elevated to god status, he was god, but also sent by god and all are the same person, it lack substance and I'm surprised this came from the very creative white folks), so instead of living in the reality of failure to rationalize this ridiculous base of their faith, they console themselves by portraying Islam as the worse option from among two bad options. The average Christian does not even believe in the doctrine deep down their heart hence, the need to continuously make Islam an unapproachable option. If this didn't happen and if terrorism (a reality in Islam) does not exist, large number of Christians would have dumped Christianity for Islam or gone elsewhere.
