Spiritan University Nneochi is a university of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans) at Nneochi, Abia State. As a Spiritan parish, Mater Misericordiae shares in this educational mission of forming minds and hearts for the Church and society.

The university offers higher learning in the Spiritan tradition of scholarship, missionary zeal, and service to the poor. Parishioners discerning university studies, or wishing to accompany the Spiritan academic apostolate in prayer, are encouraged to speak with the parish priests.

For programmes, admissions, and campus life, the parish office can help you connect with Spiritan University Nneochi.

The Spiritan Healthcare Apostolate brings pastoral care and healing ministry together in service of the sick and the wider community. It is part of the Spiritan mission of mercy that also shapes parish life at Mater Misericordiae.

Rev. Fr. Munachiso Igwenagu, CSSp, serves as Associate Priest and Director II of the Spiritan Healthcare Apostolate. He accompanies the work of healing with prayer, presence, and pastoral concern for those who suffer.

If you need pastoral care in illness, or wish to support this apostolate, please contact the parish office or Fr. Munachiso through the clergy directory.

The Holy Ghost Vocation Movement accompanies young people discerning a call to the priesthood and religious life. Rooted in the Spiritan charism, it fosters prayer, formation, and missionary zeal among those who may be called.

Rev. Fr. Chinedu Ibearugbulem, CSSp, directs the movement. He walks with discerners through conversation, spiritual accompaniment, and referral to the appropriate formation house or vocation director.

If you sense a call to priesthood or consecrated life — Spiritan or diocesan — you are welcome to begin a conversation. Reach Fr. Chinedu or the parish priests through the parish office.
