Help Nigerian Catholics Build Their Church!

Co-organized

Lynn M Mayer and Clement Umoenoh are organizing this fundraiser to benefit Diocese of Ikot Ekpene Office for the Missions USA.

Tax deductible

In Ukana Mkpa Eypo, Nigeria, there is no local church for worship. Villagers have to walk, ride by bike or motorcycle, or bus to get to the nearest church about 7 kilometers away. To help the people in their faith, this dream project was established by Rev Fr Clement Umoenoh, who served in this parish community, and, although currently a chaplain in Good Samaritan Hospital Suffern, NY, hopes to return to his people in Ukana one day. The Concrete foundation has been laid and the backfilling of the external and internal walls has been completed for the ground floor. Next will be the sand filling and then the floor casting! God's will be done in Ukana Mkpa Eypo! With God all is possible!

The church will seat 500 people from surrounding villages and will inspire love of God and neighbor, passing on our beautiful Catholic faith to all!

The village of Ukana Mkpa Eypo is located about 30 km from the southern city of Uyo in Nigeria. All donations are tax deductible and will go DIRECTLY towards the construction of this Nigerian Catholic church.

The funds collected will directly benefit the Station Church in Ikot Ekpene Diocese of Ikot Ekpene, Nigeria. The USA Missions Office will assist in collecting donations towards this project and is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The Missions Office assists by highlighting the various needs of the Diocese of Ikot Ekpene and offering the faithful in the United States a way to help meet those needs.
