On 6 September, students Michael Ocha Iji and Ifeanyichukwu Vitalis Ezeh renewed their religious profession for the first time in Granada. The celebration was presided over by Fr. Félix J. Martínez Lozano, Provincial Prefect of Spirituality and Formation, and was attended by the local community, with the spiritual closeness of their families and of their brothers from their home Delegation in Nigeria.
Michael Ocha Iji, 26 years old and a native of Sango-Ota (Nigeria), began his journey in the Congregation in 2018 with the Postulancy in Ibefun (Nigeria). He continued his formation in Kimbondo (Congo), where he studied French and pursued Philosophy at Saint Augustine University of Kinshasa. During the 2023–2024 academic year he carried out his Novitiate in Utonkoh (Nigeria), and on 8 September 2024 he made his first profession in Ibadan. Shortly afterwards, the Superior General assigned him from the Delegation of Nigeria West to the Province of Fátima, and he joined the community of Granada on 16 March this year.
