Welcome to Igbo Catholic Community
3RD SUNDAY OF EASTER_B
Peter, after regaining his faith and getting back his lost voice, fiercely preached the good news of the Risen Lord. He courageously and fearlessly witnessed to the power of the resurrection. He continued to proclaim the kerygma and was able to get the Jews to repent and accept the Lord. Jesus repeated appearances helped to boost the faith of the people and fostered courage on the hearts of the apostles. He gave Peace to the apostles to calm their fears, remove their doubts and restore them. They brokenness was healed and they were challenged to proclaim the good news and bear witness to the Risen Christ. We are all called in this time and place, to witness to Christ in and out of season. Let us not run away from this divine duty. We have to be committed and be ready to bring Christ to the world. Let the light of the Risen Christ shine in our lives, hearts and homes.
Happy Sunday!!

Mission
Our mission is to establish a thriving Catholic ethnic community for the Igbo Diaspora in New York. We seek to build a community that galvanizes and serves as a rallying point, a fountain of hope, and a forum for the worship of Almighty God in Igbo language and in accordance with the Roman Catholic faith. We envision a community that preserves and perpetuates the Igbo culture, language, social values, charity, and our Roman Catholic heritage through evangelization, catechesis, Bible studies, and advancement of Catholic principles and ideals.
