“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble…” — James 1:27

This Easter season, Come Let’s Pray Catholic Family Ministry, Ilorin (CLP Ilorin), set out on a mission to ensure that the message of the Resurrection reached the little ones who need it most. In a day defined by laughter, prayers, and boundless generosity, our team visited the State Orphanage in Kwara State, turning a simple holiday into a landmark of hope.

A Celebration of Family and Faith

The atmosphere at the orphanage was transformed as our members arrived, bringing not just supplies, but the warmth of a family. Our time with the children was a beautiful reminder that Easter is about the triumph of love.

The day’s activities were centered on holistic support:

• Spiritual Upliftment: We spent time in heartfelt prayer with the children, speaking words of life and encouragement over their futures. It was a moment of profound connection, reminding them that they are seen and loved by the Almighty.

• Essential Provisions: To support the daily well-being of the children, CLP Ilorin donated a significant haul of food supplies and toiletries. From nutritious staples to hygiene essentials, these gifts were aimed at easing the burden of the facility and ensuring the children have what they need to thrive.
