The Diocese of Zaria, Nigeria was erected on March 3, 2001 via promulgation by Blessed John Paul II with Bishop George J. Dodo appointed as first bishop. The Diocese of Zaria is located in Kaduna State of Nigeria with the majority of the population as Muslims. Zaria town has a total population of about 1.8m people and out of this 68,000 are Catholics.
The priority of Bishop Dodo is in the following areas and more; training of seminarians for the priesthood, building of schools, clinics, construction of wells, new churches and rectories. The work of evangelization to the poor people cannot go on unless we have the funds to accomplish all these set objectives. It is for this reason, that we do this appeal to assist the diocese to realize them. We hereby solicit your kind donations and support to enable the Diocese of Zaria to carry out evangelization to the poor people entrusted to it by the Church and God, for the glory of his name.
Envelopes will be made available in the pews. All donations can be made out to the Diocese ofZaria. God Bless you for giving your donation.
Bishop George J. Dodo has approved this message and we are thankful for your initiative especially to the Pastor, Father Chauncey Winkler for this gesture of goodness. May God continue to shower you with abundant blessings.
Yours in the Lord's service,
Fr. Barnabas Duniya
