The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Lafia, Nasarawa State, Most Reverend Mathew Audu, on Saturday in Masaka wedded 109 couples.
Audu, who was on his third pastoral visit to St. Martin`s Catholic Church, Masaka, appealed to relatives of the new couples to allow them to build their marriages.
“As newly wedded couples, you must love each other just as Christ Jesus loved the church and died to set souls free.
The Bishop, who also confirmed 1,390 faithful, blessed 56 Eucharistic Ministers and 76 lectors, saying the blessing would strengthen their faith.
He said that the confirmation and the blessings the members received would energise them to evangelise to people and win more souls into the kingdom of God. Audu said that confirmation in the Catholic Church was the sacrament which reaffirmed a person’s status in the church.
