Miya Parish

Miya Parish is at the early stages of its development. It lies about 70 km from Bauchi in a very rural region. St Patrick’s Missionary Society has built a small school and is in the process of building the parish church. The walls are up and they are waiting to find money for the roof.

The children below are playing in front of a building which is part of the primary school that Fr Emmanuel Edet and Fr Emmanuel Likoko are trying to set up. There are very few education facilities in Miya.

Building Hope

Pilgrim God, we give you thanks and praise.
You constantly journey with us even in our darkness and doubts.
We seek your way of loving kindness to walk together as one family.
Open our eyes to recognise you in the faces of one another,
in the breaking of bread and in the splendour of creation.
May the risen Christ sow seeds of hope and new life deep within us.
May our hearts and minds be filled with your Word, bringing forth truth, justice and peace.
May the Holy Spirit working in and through us do much more
than we can dare to imagine as we live out our baptismal calling in humble and loving service.
We make this our prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
St Laurence O’Toole, pray for us.
St Kevin, pray for us.
St Brigid, pray for us.
