Catholic Praise Concert 3 Holds August

Posted on June 28, 2017

This year’s edition of the Catholic Praise Concert, a one-day, Gospel music concert which has become an annual Catholic evening of Praise music offering to God for Christians would hold on August 11 at the St. Leo Catholic Church Ikeja, Lagos.

In a statement signed by Rt. Rev. Msgr. John Aniagwu, Parish Priest of the Host Parish, St Leo Catholic Church, Ikeja, this year’s concert would be open to all to attend, for all Christians and individuals who thirst for God, and want to praise God.

According to the clergy, the concert will feature some of the best-known musical talents in the Gospel music genre and also to let people know that Catholic Church is very open minded, and diverse in its worship of God.

“The Church is not boring at all and Catholics love God and honour Mary the Mother of God and not worship her,” the Rev. Father said.

The event debuted in April 2014 and subsequently evolved into an annual tour with increased momentum in terms of performances, anticipated crowd and venue.

It features praise, worship, dance, and special highlight performances.

For Mr. Peter Egbumokei, the executive producer of the concert, “the Catholic Praise Concert is simply an opportunity for Christians to come together to praise GOD, interact, put aside unGodly differences, and together lift one voice in worship to God. In a simple phrase – an offering of PRAISE to God; our lives must go from Grace to Praise of God, that Heaven may take notice of us and our beloved country. It also serves as a medium to showcase beautiful Gospel talents that our country is endowed with.”

This year it will be an offering of Excellent Praise for Extraordinary Grace performance, hence the theme – “Praise 4 Grace”.

This year’s artist line up promises to lift spirits even higher to the Lord. They include Rev Fr Lawrence Adelana (AKA -Fr Fuji), Rev Fr Tony-Maria Boluwaji , Joe Praize, Tessy Aniesi, Daniel “A Strings” Azuka (Violinist from Turkey), Kenny K’Ore, Prisca D Nightingale, Psalmos, Kelar Thrillz, St Charles Lwanga Choir, St Cecilia (University of Lagos) Choir, Ella Vibes, B’Dash and Jesus Baby.

Others are DJ X-Moe, Harmonic Syndrome, Desmond Unaegbu, Victoria Orenze,

Iyke Okechukwu of Tinsel and Ivie Okujaye will be the compères of the concert.

The Catholic Praise Concert is being organized by the Felicia Michael SoS Foundation, House of Ogugua Michael Egbumokei and Yellow Craig in conjunction with Saint Leo Catholic Church.
