The Man of Order and Discipline (MOD), Nigeria, has installed Very Rev. Fr. Aloysius Maduka Agba as the Deputy Archdiocesan Chaplain of the Onitsha Archdiocese amid jubilation at Iba Pope, Awada.
The installation ceremony was held on Sept. 27 at SS John and Paul Parish, Iba Pope, Awada, in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, following a solemn Holy Mass attended by parishioners, MOD members, friends and well-wishers.
In his homily, Fr. Agba described love as a universal language that transcends religious and ethnic boundaries. He urged christians to demonstrate genuine love and kindness towards others, noting that every good deed contributes positively to humanity.
The Onitsha Archdiocesan Commander, Lt. Col. Okwudili Ezemba, said Fr. Agba’s appointment was also in recognition of his consistent support and commitment to MOD while serving as Chaplain of 003 Ogidi Parish.
Ezemba called on parish priests to establish MOD units in their respective parishes to strengthen the organisation’s presence and activities across the Archdiocese.
He also appealed to Archbishop Valerian Okeke and other supporters of the organisation to assist in the development of MOD’s proposed Archdiocesan Secretariat at Iba Pope, Awada.
In his response, Fr. Agba expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of MOD for the honour and pledged his continued support for the organisation. He also urged the government to consider equipping and empowering members for security duties.
Fr. Agba further encouraged parents to support the training of their children in discipline, morality and service, stressing the importance of raising responsible members of society.
