THE Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr, Ejike Mbaka has suspended the ministry’s activities for one month.

  In a notice issued by the ministry, Fr Mbaka said he was proceeding on a private prayer retreat and won’t be available until June 10.

  According to the information contained in the notice, “our Spiritual Director, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka wishes to inform his beloved adorers that he has embarked on a private prayer retreat that will end on 10th June 2021.

  “Consequently, no ministry activities shall be held in the ministry ground pending his return.

  “He directs that members of the ministry are to observe this period of his retreat as they used to do during the usual January breaks of the ministry, by praying at their homes, being charitable and fasting according to their ability.”

  The Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev. Callistus Onaga, had declared one week of prayer over the violent protest and desecration of the cathedral’s holy altar, vandalisation of bishop’s apartments and Cathedral secretariat complex.
