No wonder the Lord Jesus said judgement will start from the church

Is this how the apostles did in the Bible...?? Why are these churches becoming political sef... What the hell??

Can these ones stand in the tribulation so??

FASASI1:

Must you include Muslim in it??

Sorry was just over reacting thks sha

I am a Catholic and I know what you said here is true. However, I still don't want the church to donate to government until every Christian is okay.

Escalze:
People here condemning the church don't know that every week, parishes map out a day to feed poor people from what people use as offerings. It has been happening and didn't really start with COVID19.

Clement111:
Exactly, i also wonder oo Dear

They don't do eye service

Did you read the article at all....they mentioned that they have mandated all the parishes to reach out to the people under them which are ongoing..........I guess this one to the govt is to extend to non Catholics and non Christians...

neonly:
Catholic is finished they join the wicked pastors not caring abt der own always ass licking d government soon those materials will given to Muslim APC supporters
we I have given up on religion since 2015 when I had issues ?

Total stupidity y would the not give to there church members they are giving it to this corrupt government ���

But donating to the poor people directly without going through the government would have been the best option.

I see it as a show off Why did they donate to the government and not directly to the needy?? Our religious leaders are now among the fraudulent political leaders

Why Eye service to govt every where.....U pple shud give relief material to the masses directly.God bless u dat way hmmmm��

dododawa1:
please tell us the issue, maybe we can learn from it

Had issues once went to church for prayer and support pastor told me to go and pray on d alter dat God will answer me dat since am not a tithe payer
It a long story sha wife was d one dat told me to go in d first instance I just went home straight
In my mind I knew all dis people are scams but had a lot of respect for Catholic
Was born der was a mass servant der for more than 30yrs
Went to Catholic school pry and secondary all free
But now am losing dat respect for them
Dat kind money can be use to buy food stuff and share among the parish instead of giving it to people dat you know will disappear it in der pocket

Nice one

Even if d archbishop still ask all d 180 parishes to extend to their flocks this 1 they gv govt is uncalled for they shd hv just gone round d state and share it to whoever needs it than giving it to govt!!! We know it will end in d store of d devils that it was given to share to d populace.

In other climes humanitarian goods are never tampered with no matter how bad d administrator might think they are.they mk sure it gets to d recipient but here devil reigns supreme!

Deyybuh:
This is great

This is not great in a country like Nigeria, the palliatives package will be embezzle by the government official and it will not get to the poor

Man naturally is a politician. At least they gave something

Between me and you dat money don disappear already why can't they reach out to most parish and make donations der since most of d parish are not boyant
All na just a way of finding favor from FG
FG wey no send them

ikorodureporta:

Cupid people that do not give will always love to control how and why others generously give.
Funningly, grabbers will always complain when you give and when you don't give, since the opportunity to quickly grab doesn't present itself.
KUDOS AND BLESSINGS TO ALL THAT HAS GIVEN EITHER DIRECTLY TO THE GOVT OR THE PEOPLE IN THEIR QUATERS OR THE BEGGARS BY THE ROAD.

No problem giving to the Government to support the fight but the Parishioners are right, Charity ought to have begun from home.

Right from the article:

"The Archbishop later revealed that the support offered to Lagos State Government was in addition to the provisions for the poor that he directed the over 180 parishes of the Archdiocese to make in their different localities spread all over the State."

Also, this isn't from a parish, but from the archdiocese covering the entire state.

Rubbish


Instead of distributing to your congregants

Wow!! See my priest Fr Godonu!! Very nice priest.

he Archbishop later revealed that the support offered to Lagos State Government was in addition to the provisions for the poor that he directed the over 180 parishes of the Archdiocese to make in their different localities spread all over the State. He commended the Priests and the faithful of the different Parishes for taking action on the directive, thereby revealing Jesus’ love of the poor in the provisions they are making for the people.

About 78 smaller parishes that could not afford to make the provisions without some support were assisted with various sums of money from the nearly 10million naira that was raised from the Archbishop’s Appeal to the faithful at the beginning of the lockdown. He expressed gratitude to the lay faithful who within a short period of time helped him to raise the money

santori:


the excuses you are giving is very lame. I believe they say charity begins at home,

Those People condemning are mad. Last week Saturday, Holy family church Festac was sharing food stuffs to people, whether you're parishioner or not, all the beggars in Agboju market full there.

Archdiocese of Lagos Donates Relief Materials to Lagos State Government

The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Most Rev Dr Alfred Adewale Martins, on behalf of the Archdiocese of Lagos, has donated some relief materials to Lagos State Government in support of its efforts to provide assistance to the poor and contain the coronavirus pandemic. The items included 500 bags of rice and beans and 4000 hand sanitizers. In alignment with the CBCN, he also announced the decision to make St Raphael Divine Mercy Hospital, Ijede available for use as an isolation centre if the need arises.

While presenting the materials to the wife of Lagos State Governor, Dr (Mrs) Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu at the State House, Marina, the Chancellor of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Very Rev Msgr Anthony Obanla, who represented the Archbishop commended the Governor and the Government of Lagos State for the proactive steps that have been taken since the first index case was identified in the State.

The Archbishop said“We commend the hard work that has been done in ensuring that we are a model state in the effort to stem the spread of the virus. We also commend the effort that has been made to provide palliatives to support the most vulnerable among us. However, we cannot but admit that providing for all the people in our state is a herculean task and it must create its own nightmare for the government. So, as a Church, we hear the cry of the people as well as understand the challenges of Government.”

Archbishop Martins noted that the task of managing the pandemic and taking care of the less-privileged was enormous and so government should be supported, hence the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Lagos decided to show her support in order to ease the pain of poor and vulnerable within the state. While noting that it is the tradition of the Catholic Church all over the world, led by Pope Francis, to make her own contribution to social welfare especially in moments of difficulties such as this, he said: “Today, we wish to present these cartons of 4000 Hand sanitisers and these bags of food items to support the State Government in taking care of our people.

Responding, Dr (Mrs) Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, on behalf of her husband, thanked the Catholic Church for its kind gesture and assured that the donated items will be properly utilized for the purposes they were meant for.

Msgr Anthony Obanla was accompanied on the visit by the Director of Social Communications, Rev Fr Anthony Godonu; the Holy Cross Cathedral Administrator Very Rev Fr Marcellinus Teko and Secretary to the Archbishop Rev Fr Vitalis Ezeigwe.

The Archbishop later revealed that the support offered to Lagos State Government was in addition to the provisions for the poor that he directed the over 180 parishes of the Archdiocese to make in their different localities spread all over the State. He commended the Priests and the faithful of the different Parishes for taking action on the directive, thereby revealing Jesus’ love of the poor in the provisions they are making for the people.

About 78 smaller parishes that could not afford to make the provisions without some support were assisted with various sums of money from the nearly 10million naira that was raised from the Archbishop’s Appeal to the faithful at the beginning of the lockdown. He expressed gratitude to the lay faithful who within a short period of time helped him to raise the money.

The Archbishop commended all those who took part in the 7days of Prayer and Fasting and the prayer of Divine Mercy before the Paschal Triduum. He then encouraged all the faithful to continue praying the rosary as well as the Prayer for an end to the Coronavirus Pandemic with the assurance that God would not fail to listen to our petitions.

Signed.

Rev. Fr Anthony Godonu,
Director of Social Communications,
Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos.

These people are just seeking cheap popularity or better still they want merciful eyes of the government one of these days. If not, these relief materials ought to be taken to the needy themselves and not those who would share them among their party faithfuls
