Father Gronotte and his team walk door to door, praying with the poor bring them spiritual and material nourishment

In Igboland, Nigeria, families know the earth and how to work it. But for many, that has not been enough. Emergencies like armed conflict, inflation, and extreme weather have left people

without jobs or food. A deep kind of poverty has settled in, the kind that tells people, “You have been forgotten.”

The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary remember God’s people, no matter what they’re going through. Known as “The Smiling Nuns,” these Sisters have spent nearly 90 years bringing the Gospel to communities in need and caring for the most vulnerable.

They operate the Seeds of Faith farm, where 30 people are learning to raise crops, tend livestock, and build a livelihood rooted in dignity and faith. Each harvest is shared with widows, orphans, and the elderly. Work becomes a form of prayer.

This is not charity; it is restoration. When you give people seeds, tools, and the love of Christ, communities do not just survive, they thrive and grow.

The Catechism teaches that work allows us to share in God’s creation (CCC 2427). For families in Nigeria, the Seeds of Faith farm makes that teaching tangible.

Your gift today will plant more seeds and help send more workers into the great harvest.
