WELCOME MESSAGE BY REV MOTHER MARY CLAUDE OGUH, IHM

Dear Readers,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to our Mater Christi Human Development and Religious Formation Centre (MACHDREFC). This centre was opened in 2014 in response to the various needs of our people and their daily challenges. MACHDREFC aims at the integrated development and religious formation of our people especially the youths.
The centre is made of different departments namely: Scholasticate, Youth animation, catechesis, Music, Skill Acquisition and Psychotherapy. The services focus on the human, spiritual, moral, social and psychological needs of the human persons.  They help the beneficiaries attain more knowledge of God, wholistic development and maturity, thus they are empowered to boldly live and proclaim their faith in the society with their joyful service. The benefits and services gained from this centre cannot be underestimated. Therefore, I heartily invite you to avail yourself, your children, relatives and friends of these services at our MACHDREFC and be enriched! God bless you!
