Mass Wedding At Catholic Church In Jos Plateau State, 52 Couples
(52 men and women) were joined together in Holy Matrimony at a Catholic church in Jos Plateau state last weekend.
The historic ceremony took place at St. Moses Parish in Tudunwada area of Jos.
Most of them had been married traditionally while others had lived together and even raised children without an official ceremony.
They felt their lives were not complete because they had all along shut Jesus Christ out of their marriage.
It was observed that many of them could not arrange for white weddings before having children, due to their poor economic conditions.
Due to the importance the Catholic Church attaches to marriage, the oath was conducted by the Catholic Archbishop of Jos, His Grace, Bishop Ignatius Kaigama.
According to reports, the mass wedding is first of its kind in Nigeria.
