At St Paul's, our Parish Priest - Father Constantine - is Nigerian.
At St Paul's we have had quiet vigils, lit many candles.
We long for all the girls to come home, to be restored to their families.
Pray with us.

The abduction that catapulted Boko Haram into the global limelight was just the tip of almost six years of carnage from a group seeking to impose a caliphate on Africa’s largest and religiously mixed nation. Countless other families have been left adrift in a limbo of uncertainty.
