St. Finbarr's Catholic Parish, Rayfield

The faith here is so strong! So strong you will never believe that this shop has ever been bombed! inside the premises there is a cenotaph which houses the remains of the car that brought in the bomb and the pictures of the people who lost their lives during the bomb blast. If you stand here, you will pray. Also, you will wonder how 4 Masses can still hold within such a place! It is very beautiful! I am very surprised to find a Catholic Church this big and beautiful around here! One of the stunning features I found here was the dedicated confessional! That's taking the sacrament a whole notch up. The security at the entrance, very friendly and smart. The compound is quite spacious to accommodate other late comers to the Church. I will sure attend Mass here. I attended Mass here on New year day. It was the second Mass at 8:30a.m. and it was in Hausa! I loved how there was a Projector screen right above the Crucifix on the Altar, that sort of made us who were not indigenes follow the Order of Mass. I loved the Music ministry too. There were 3 Choirs! 1 was the English/Hausa Choir who sang the Hymns. The other was a female (women)Choir who sang traditional songs and beat their Local drims and wore the same uniform The last was their Male counterpart. These two other Choirs took over music ministry during offertory procession. I made videos, I hope I get my phone back, so, I can share with you
