Paschal Nwaezeapu: Gospel Message Remains Constant, How You Propagate It Can Change

Monsignor Paschal Nwaezeapu, Parish Priest of the Catholic Church of Divine Mercy in Lekki and Episcopal Vicar for Lekki Region of Lagos Archdiocese, is the founder of Unusual Praise, an annual Catholic praise and worship concert series. Nwaezeapu and Tina Oruche, the Vice Chairman of Unusual Praise 2026, discussed the upcoming event and its mission.
Unusual Praise revolves around three main aspects: thanksgiving, evangelisation, and empowering people. Thanksgiving acknowledges the blessings God has bestowed, even during challenging times. Evangelisation aims to proclaim Jesus to those who haven't followed Him and renew commitment among existing followers. Empowering individuals helps them live well, respecting human dignity, which glorifies God.
The 2026 theme, 'Declaring His Glory Among the Nations,' reflects the faith's mission to spread God's existence and ongoing work despite challenges. The event will be held at Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos on December 11th and the Catholic Basilica in Onitsha on November 6th. While the focus remains on Lagos, Nwaezeapu believes Unusual Praise could expand to other locations in the future, depending on opportunities and support.
