• Fr Victor Onwukieme is Rector of a Nigerian seminary who visits the parish annually. His sermons and illustrations of the hugely different challenges and rewards of working in Nigeria are revelatory. He works at the The National Missionary Seminary of St Paul, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Nigeria. The institution has no shortage of seminarians and is doing a marvellous work but, as may be imagined, is always in search of funds:- www.mspfathers.org
