Catholic faithful across the world are now warming up for
the 2018 World Day of Peace as declared by Pope Francis to hold on New Year Day,
Monday, January 1, this year, reports ITRealms.
With the theme ‘Migrants and Refugees: Men and Women in
search of Peace’ the Pontiff noted that the World Peace Day is set aside
annually by the Holy See to spread the gospel of peaceful co-existence amongst
peoples of the world.
ITRealms gathered
that in the Archdiocese of Lagos, the event would kick off with a Holy Mass at
the Holy Cross Cathedral with the Archbishop of Lagos, Most Rev Dr. Alfred
Adewale Martins as the Chief Celebrant, to be assisted by the Director of
Social Communicators, Msgr. Gabriel Osu by 10.am.
Also, ITRealms reports
that the occasion would be graced some members of Catholic Media Practitioners
Association of Nigeria (CAMPAN), Papal Knights/Medalists, top government
functionaries and members of the diplomatic corps. The occasion will also
afford an opportunity for the reading of the Pope’s New Year message, while the
Archbishop of Lagos will also brief the media on his State of the Nation
address.
All Catholics and media practitioners are enjoined to be
part of this celebration of peace to usher in the New Year.
