Abuja Region has three Regional Projects,
namely, Host bakery, sewing center and bookshop. These three projects are
located within the premises of Saint Peter and St. Paul Catholic Church, Nyanya,
in a storey building built and owned by the Congregation with a letter of
authorization to own and use signed by His Eminence John Cardinal Onaiyekan on
14th July, 2016. The projects took off in this building on 31st July, 2016. The
house was built by Sr. Eustace Onuegbu's administration and completed by Sr.
Nneka Gesila Uzukwu's administration.
The Region also has a plot of land in Adokasa, Nasarawa State which now measures
2.4 hectares. It has now been fenced. The Region proposes to build an orphanage
and Retreat Center there but is using it temporarily for farm work.
There is also a plot of land in Lokoja which is meant for school. Sr. Eustace
Onuegbu applied to Holy Childhood Association for Fund. The fund was released
during the administration of St. Gesila NNeka Uzukwu. She used it and began the
foundation of the primary school building but the money could not complete the
foundation. Her successor, Sr. Mary Joy Ifeoma Ibegbulam concluded the
foundation and is now looking for money to continue with the building.
In Abuja Region, we have about 23 communities with 63 Sisters. Our Sisters
are managing the following institutions:
10 Diocesan owned primary schools
4 Congregation owned primary schools
2 Diocesan owned secondary schools
5 Congregation owned secondary schools
1 Diocesan owned orphanage
2 Diocesan owned clinics
Some of our Sisters also work in the following Institutions:
Cardinal Onaiyekan Foundation for peace
University of Abuja
Nasarawa State University
Diocesan and Government Secondary Schools
Major Seminaries
Nasarawa State College of Education
Some pictures capturing Sisters at work in Regional events and apostolate are
