75th Anniversary of Dominicans Presence in Nigeria, and Priestly and Diaconate Ordination

Dear Benefactors, Friends, and Well-Wishers, the Dominican Province of St Joseph the Worker, Nigeria and Ghana, warmly invites you to a historic and grace-filled celebration on Saturday, 18th July 2026, at the Dominican Community, Samonda, Ibadan, as we commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Presence of the Dominican Order in Nigeria. This joyful occasion will also feature the Ordination of Eleven (11) Dominican Priests and Ten (10) Deacons, a remarkable sign of God’s continued blessing upon the Church and the Dominican mission. As valued partners in the promotion of vocations through your prayers, sacrifices, encouragement, and generous support, we wish to inform and specially invite you to share in this celebration of thanksgiving for seventy-five years of Dominican preaching, service, and evangelization in Nigeria and to witness the ordination of these new ministers for the service of God’s people. Your presence will be a great source of encouragement to the ordinands and a beautiful expression of your commitment to the growth of vocations in the Church. We look forward to celebrating this memorable milestone with you and praying together in gratitude for all that God has accomplished and continues to accomplish through the Dominican mission in Nigeria. May the Lord richly bless and reward your unwavering support for vocations.
