Alex;

For many years Ireland provided an outstanding resource of the worlds Catholic Priests. It seems everywhere I went in the United States I would meet a Priest from Ireland. A few years ago that changed and Nigeria is now a great source of Priests.

One of our local Parish Priests is from Nigeria. Last August my wife and I visited Condon, Oregon, where I was stationed in the Air Force at one time. The Priest was from Nigeria. He had a responsibility for three churches in Oregon, over an area of some 60 miles. One of the churches took in $52 the previous week. Our church in Santa Clara took in $13,800 that same week. I told our priest and he thanked me for the information and stated, ‘I did not know there were poor people in America”! I suggested he go to the California Central Valley and see some of the Nations poorest people only 50 miles from Silicon Valley.

This is an interesting world.

Ciao.

Tom

Sorry if I offend anybody from Nigeria but I do not personnally know anybody from there so I chose to delete all. There are other ways to contact me if they are for real and are really interested.
