Our Lady of Lourdes Church, in Argyle, is the most recent Catholic church to be built on the main island of Saint Vincent in the Diocese of Kingstown. The Argyle area has great potential for growth because it is closest to the new airport - the Argyle International Airport.
Two other churches are part of this three-parish cluster.
Corpus Christi Church meets in one of the Community College classrooms in Villa. They hope to build a church some day. I celebrated Mass here is few years ago.
Saint Martin de Porres Church in Stubbs. I also celebrated Mass here a few years ago.
Father Peter Okonkwo, originally from Nigeria, is the Pastor of Corpus Christi Parish, a three-church cluster in Argyle, Villa and Stubbs.
LETTER OF APPRECIATION:
The parish of Corpus Christi of Catholic Diocese of Kingstown sincerely wants to appreciate your great spirit of sacrifice, magnanimity, and generosity towards our parish and the entire diocese of Kingstown.
Indeed, your recent Christmas gifts for the children/youths speak volumes of your giftedness in using your position to reach out to the poor, needy, and also impact positively on so many lives. For these and many others you have done in the past and the future we are very grateful.
It might interest you to know that yesterday when I was appreciating you before the congregation I spoke extensively on the great lesson to be learned from your great sacrifice and I said " For the sake of God’s kingdom Fr Ron has turned himself a beggar on our behalf expecting nothing in return“ and I encouraged them to do the same in their ministries by being more committed for the sake of God’s kingdom. In the end, the entire parishioners applauded your great generosity.
Be assured of our continued prayers. And finally, we wish you all the best and blessings this Advent season.
Fr. Peter
