Barring any change in plans, Catholic Bishops under the umbrella of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) would converge in Orlu Catholic Diocese in Owerri Ecclesiastical Province for the second 2022 plenary.
Daily Sun gathered that the week-long meeting is scheduled to hold from Thursday, September 8 to Friday, September 16, 2022.
The opening Mass for the programme will come up on Sunday, September 11, 2022, by 9:00am at Holy Trinity Cathedral, Orlu, and will be presided over by the CBCN President and Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Lucius Iwejuru Ugorji, while the homily will be taken by the Bishop of Orlu Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Ukwuoma.
There will be an official opening session at Sacred Heart Pastoral/Retreat Centre, Orlu, which will commence with the rite of Enthronement of the Bible.
It will be a period of prayer, sharing, deep reflections and deliberations on issues concerning the Church and the society, at the end of which the Bishops would issue a communique.
During the period also, the Bishops would meet with the Diocesan Priests Association and also hold an interactive session with some Catholics of Owerri Province.
Goodwill messages are expected from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Prelate of the Methodist Church, Governor of Imo State and the President of Nigeria during the opening session.
