Catechetical Students in the Shendam Diocese Participate in the 40-Day Retreat on Suffering

We received pictures from Fr. Paul Miapkwap who is the Director at the Catechetical Institute in Shendam Diocese of Nigeria. All of his students are participating in the 40 day journey and have received a copy of the book A Soul Prepared through Suffering. This 40 day retreat can also be done online HERE. These students come from nine dioceses in Nigeria and undertake two years of training. They learn how to start and run a Children's Rosary prayer group and how to implement the Children's Rosary retreats including the 33 Day Child Consecration to Jesus through Mary. Upon graduation they are given a Children's Rosary T-Shirt, and rosaries to help implement the Children's Rosary in their home parishes in Nigeria. They each also receive a Child Consecration book and A Soul Prepared through Suffering book to use in their parishes.
