S

ometime in 2019 when I was invited
to actually participate in the liturgical celebration of the Rites of Church Dedication of Christ the King Catholic
Church, Akowonjo, Lagos;
I saw a

very vibrant
and daring parish. A parish so committed to faith development and
its sustenance through
catechesis.

Thereafter,
when I got to know about the publication of the book, Simple Facts about the Catholic Faith:
A Sprout from the Ashes,
it didn’t come to me as a surprise; particularly, arising from the period
of
the COVID-19
lockdown. Permit me to repeat the old saying that:
“out
of every bad situation,
there is a good”. Despite the negativities
of
the pandemic
and how it has affected our mode of worship, a few positives came
with it; one of which
is the publication of this book.

This book is
also coming at a right time where every effort is consciously being made by the
Nigeria ecclesia to bring the
Catholic faith closer
to the people. I am thrilled by the fact that this is merely a contribution of well researched papers from the lay faithful themselves, on different aspects
of our faith and tradition, and it demonstrates the commitment of the contributors to share their
knowledge and understanding of our faith with others. This is simply catechesis!

Simple Facts about the Catholic
Faith: A Sprout from the Ashes is well structured into five sections. Section 1
which is entitled “Servants of The Sacred Liturgy” focuses more on the role of
functionaries in a liturgical celebration; Priests, Deacons, and liturgical gestures.

The second section dealt with “The
Church as Custodian of Our Faith & Tradition”, speaks about the church, its physical structure, and the process that makes it a unique
place for worship.

The third section unveiled “The
Paschal Mystery” addresses the importance of Christ’
coming, His death and resurrection, though a mystery, but simplified in the churches
paschal celebration.

The fourth section of this epoch
making book which
is centred on; “Fidei Defensor,” clearly speaks about the priests and the Deacons and the ultimate prayer which is the Mass, while at the same time,
narrowing this excellent book to the Vincentian (Congregation of the Mission)
Priests, how their
charism has influenced their work in Christ the King Catholic
Church parish, where
they serve.

The fifth section of the book “The Church and the Holy Sacrament & Sacramental” explores the uniqueness of the Mother
Church, through her sacraments and sacramental.
