Mbaka closes down Adoration Ministry

Enugu Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has announced the closure of the Adoration Ministry for a one-month period on Tuesday.

It was learnt that this action might be connected with the earlier order given to him by the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Bishop Callistus Onaga.

Daily Trust recalls that Mbaka had on Sunday during a mass sermon at the Adoration Ministry, Emene, Enugu knelt down and begged for forgiveness for the unruly behaviours of his members.

The Adoration ministry sent out a notice early Tuesday informing members that Fr. Mbaka was proceeding on a one-month private prayer retreat.

 But the statement did not say whether the closure of the ministry was in obedience to the Bishop’s directive.

A message to that effect made available to newsmen in Enugu stated: “Our Spiritual Director, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka wishes to inform his beloved adorers that he has embarked on a private prayer retreat that will end on 10th June 2021.

“Consequently, no ministry activities shall be held in the ministry ground pending his return.

“He directs that members of the ministry are to observe this period of his retreat as they used to do during the usual January breaks of the ministry, by praying at their homes, being charitable and fasting according to their ability. Adoration! Holy Spirit is our Power.”

Rev Fr Mbaka has been entangled in controversies with President Muhammadu Buhari and the Catholic Church in Enugu.
