Enugu Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has been transferred from the Adoration Ministry to the Monastery to further his ministerial work.
The Adoration Ministry, which was shut down three months ago, was re-opened yesterday, Sunday.
In a statement by Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka via a Facebook post on Thursday, he noted that Services will commence on Sunday, 2 October, 2022.
He wrote: “Dear Adorers, I can confirm to you that the ban has been lifted. That’s the situation now. There’ll be Mass there beginning from this Sunday and subsequent Sundays.
“To the glory of God, Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria Amen, starts on Sunday 2nd October, 2022 with 10am Mass at the Adoration ground Umuchigbo Iji Nike Emene Enugu State.
“God bless you miraculously as you come to worship God with us.”
However, in the place of Fr. Mbaka, another clergy of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu, Rev. Fr. Anthony Amadi has been posted to take charge of the Adoration Ministry.
The Church’s latest decision is already generating protest from Mbaka’s followers.
A top member of the ministry, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed the posting to the media, adding that the development was unfortunate, Gists9ja reports.
According to him, “All along, the Bishop has been trying to take over the Adoration Ministry. But I can assure you that no priest will succeed there. So long as Fr. Mbaka is not there, nobody will come there to worship.”
