2025 Pastoral Letter
A healthy society is a function of healthy families while at the same time, a healthy family is rooted in a healthy marriage. A healthy marriage gives rise to a healthy family, while healthy families give birth to a good society, a healthy Church and spiritually prosperous souls raised for the household of God and sustenance of the society. (art 5)
AND THE TWO BECOME ONE: TOWARDS A CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE
“Archbishop Valerian Okeke “
