CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF ORLU - NIGERIA

PASTORAL MINISTRY OF PRIESTS 2008

"Be the shepherd of the flock of God that is entrusted to you; watch over it, not as a duty but gladly, because God wants it, not for sordid money, but because you are eager to do it. Never be a dictator over any group that is put in your charge, but be an example that the whole flock can follow. When the shepherd appears, you will be given the crown of unfaiding glory." (1 Pet. 5: 1 - 11).

MOST REV. DR. GREGORY OCHIAGHA, Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese. Residence: Custos Ecclesiae Seminary, Uzii - Ideato North.

"In fulfilling the office of shepherd diligently, Pastors should first take pains to know their own flock. Since they are the servants of all sheep, they should foster growth in Christian living among the individual faithful and also in families, in associations especially dedicated to the apostolate and in the whole parish community. Therefore, they should visit homes and schools to the extent that their pastoral work demands. They should pay special attention to adolescents and youth, devote themselves with a pastoral love to the poor and the sick, and have a particular concern for workingmen. Finally, they should encourage the faithful to assist in the work of the apostolate." Canon 529, #1.
