Work has been diligently going on towards the renovation of the Shrine's Church building since 2022, aiming to expand it to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims who visit. This building was initially constructed as a temporary structure many decades ago, with the intention of eventually constructing a larger main church.
Since 2022, millions of naira have been invested into this renovation project, with each supporting pillar costing over ₦130,000. We kindly request your financial support to help us complete the renovation of this church building. Your contribution will allow pilgrims to have the opportunity to visit the Icon of our Mother of Perpetual Help and attend Holy Masses in this sacred space. Your generosity will play a significant role in achieving this important goal.
We urgently seek your support to fulfil a crucial mission – completing our Pilgrims' Hostel. This endeavour has become an absolute necessity as the number of pilgrims continues to surge. When finished, this remarkable building will boast around six hundred rooms, providing a comfortable haven for those who wish to stay for a few days.
Despite our unwavering determination, the construction of the hostel hit a major roadblock more than a decade ago due to insufficient funds and, more recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This pause has hindered our ability to offer adequate accommodations to the faithful pilgrims who come seeking solace and spiritual enrichment.
We implore you to join us in this endeavour. The completion of this hostel is estimated to require over ₦100,000,000 in funding due to its substantial size and the high standards we aim to uphold. Your generous contribution will revive this crucial project and offer pilgrims a haven of rest and reflection as they embark on their spiritual journey.
Together, we can turn this vision into a reality and profoundly impact countless pilgrims' lives. Please help us to complete the Pilgrims' Hostel and provide a sanctuary for those seeking spiritual nourishment and solace.
We wish to construct a quality one-kilometre access road connecting the junction and the Shrine, improving accessibility and a seamless pilgrimage experience to this sacred site.
We intend to have portable water to supply water for pilgrims. Other items needed include overhead tanks, water pumps and sumo, water treatment plant, etc.
To share our charism and spirituality with the faithful, we wish to complete our arena which will be well-equipped with a library, chapel, conference halls, etc.
