It was an amazing experience as @faithchatplatform@faithchatplatform_charity , as part of our annual empowerment program, donated 20 All-in-One Desktop computers to the Bigard Memorial Seminary, Enugu, to support the development of their e-library. There is a whole world of books and new discoveries in philosophy and theology that priests in formation need to engage with, and this donation helps make those resources more accessible.
I would like to thank the Father Rector, Very Rev. Fr. Albert Ikpenwa, for his kind hospitality and openness in welcoming this initiative and supporting the growth of the seminary community.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this possible through their generosity, prayers, and support. This is a shared effort, and the impact goes far beyond what we can immediately see.
The seminary currently needs about 60 computers in total, and we have been able to provide 20 so far. With continued support, we hope to bridge this gap by adding more computers and further strengthening the e-library for the students.
Special gratitude to the Enugu Faith-Chat Platform community, from the coordinator Dr. Rita to members, for coming out in such numbers to support and celebrate this event. Your presence and commitment made a real difference.
If more resources come in, we are committed to returning to complete what has been started.
Thank you everyone for walking this journey with us.
Every blessing
Fr. James Anyaegbu

Saint Simon Stock was an English Carmelite priest and religious leader who lived in the 13th century. Tradition says that as a young man he lived for some time as a hermit in the hollow of a tree, which is why he became known as “Stock,” meaning tree trunk.
He later joined the Carmelite Order and became its sixth General Superior. At a time when the Carmelites were facing many difficulties in Europe, Simon Stock prayed deeply for the protection and guidance of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
According to Carmelite tradition, Our Lady appeared to him on 16 July 1251 and gave him the Brown Scapular, promising special graces and protection to those who wore it with faith and devotion. Because of this, St. Simon Stock became closely associated with devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Brown Scapular.
He is remembered for his deep prayer life, love for the Blessed Virgin Mary, humility, and dedication to the Carmelite family. His feast day is celebrated on 16 May.
Saint Simon Stock, pray for us 🙏🏽
