Our Mission...

 

Founded in 1992 by Father Gerard Mary, the Divine Face Organization serves the poor and needy in Nigeria.  Our mission is two-fold: First, to meet the basic needs of the region's poorest and second, to help break the chain of poverty through high quality education.

Stewardship

 

At the heart of Divine Face Organization's mission is stewardship.  Running the mission school as well as providing for the needs of the poor and needy in Nigeria are the Divine Face Stewards.  They exemplify the generous response to the call to contribute one's time, talent and treasure to the services of God and neighbor.  They reveal the Divine Face of Jesus in and to the faces of the needy by removing the darkening clouds of poverty through a life of total self-giving in accordance with the mind of the Church.

Road Ahead

 

Starting with a donated parcel of farmland in 1994, we have come a long way.  We have constructed a chapel, dormitories, kitchen, underground cistern, new fresh water well, classroom buildings, Convent buildings for the Religious Stewards, teachers' quarters plus a partially finished science laboratory building with a study hall on top.

In addition, a technical department, though not fully equipped, has been added for the students to acquire some skills to help themselves after graduating.  We also now have a computer laboratory for training our students.

 

More land is still needed for science and laboratory facilities, a rectory, girls dormitory and soccer field.  We are assisting many of the poor and helpless people in the surrounding villages.  Quite a few indigent students, after graduation, have been helped in furthering their education.  Now they have a brighter future by the Grace of God.  We trust and depend on Our Blessed Mother Mary's Intercession for God's help every step of the way.  He always provides everything that is needed for His Service.

LAUDETUR JESUS CHRISTUS!
