On the 15th day of August 2024, the Nigeria-Ghana region welcomed Fr. Johnson Chacko, one of the general councillors, in the regional house. It was indeed a homecoming for him, as he had previously spent some of his Pauline years on the Nigerian soil. He visited the region in view of animating the region toward a better approach in the area of formation. He anchored the Aspirants and Postulants meet in Lagos from the 20th to the 23rd of August, where he encouraged them to grow in their vocation and desire to become good Paulines. He also celebrated the Holy Eucharist for the worshipping community. As part of his visit, he proceeded to the community of Ibadan on Monday, 26th August. He was welcomed by the entire community with a warm cultural display. Fr. Johnson moderated the Juniors Meet from the 26th to the 28th of August. He had an interactive time with the juniors and reminded them of the great responsibility they would face in the future as Paulines. He encouraged them to discover themselves and see how they can fit into the Pauline life while reminding them that Africa is a very fertile ground for evangelization, and if they are serious, they can explore many possibilities. Finally, he reminded them that they are consecrated persons who are called to be witnesses of the gospel. During his stay, he also met with the members of the Formation Council and other senior members in the region. His presence ignited and made a great impact on the region.
