The Catholic Praise Concert is a one-day, Gospel music
concert which has become an annual Catholic evening of Praise music offering to
God for Christians. It features some of the best-known musical talents in the
Gospel music genre. The Event debuted on the 26th of April 2014 and
subsequently evolved into an annual tour with increased momentum in terms of
performances, anticipated crowd and venue. It features; praise, worship, dance,
and special highlight performances.
Director of Catholic Praise Concert, Peter Egbumokei, said
that in addition to the previous years‘ special performances, this year’s event
would be an experience of “Excellent Praise for Extraordinary Grace
performances, hence the theme - Praise 4 Grace”.
The concert, he said, is being organized by the Felicia Michael
SoS Foundation, House of Ogugua Michael Egbumokei and Yellow Craig in
conjunction with Saint Leo Catholic Church, stressing that “It is powered by
the Holy Spirit and proudly supported by Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Inspiro
Productions and Donralph Media Concepts Limited- DMG.”
Egbumokei explain that, the Catholic Praise Concert is
simply an opportunity for Christians to come together to praise God, interact,
put aside un-Godly differences, and together lift one voice in worship to God in
a simple phrase, “offering of Praise to
God.”
“Our lives must go from Grace to Praise of God, that Heaven
may take notice of us and our beloved country. It also serves as a medium to
showcase beautiful Gospel talents that our country is endowed with”.
Also commenting, the
Parish Priest St Leo Catholic Church, Rt. Rev. Msgr. John Aniagwu, reiterated
that the Catholic Church is very open minded, diverse in its worship of God,
and that8 the Church is not boring at all.
He further urged Catholics in Lagos and across the country
to participate in the concert, affirming that Catholic Praise Concert is a
sure way for Catholics to further express their love for God and honour to Mary
the Mother of God.
