  On Saturday, August 17th, a diverse group of Catholic creatives gathered in Abuja for a landmark event aimed at fostering collaboration and leveraging their talents to spread the Gospel. 

  The initiative, orchestrated by Rev. Fr. Benedict Onyemechalu, widely known as FadaBen, sought to build a network of Catholic creatives committed to promoting Catholic values through their artistic endeavors.

  The event commenced with a Holy Mass, bringing together creatives from various fields, including visual arts, music, filmmaking, writing, poetry, spoken word, and craftsmanship. 

  Fr Ben, who also serves as the parish priest of St Andrews Catholic Church, Orozo, Abuja, and is known for his song “The Magic is in You,” emphasized that the gathering was born out of a desire to create a community of Catholic creatives dedicated to producing content that upholds Catholic values.

  Fr Ben described a creative as anyone engaged in artistic or inventive activities. He shared his vision of uniting Catholic creatives to build a support system that would foster collaboration, provide mentorship, and help them achieve independence while making a living from their work. 

  The ultimate goal is to profile, mentor, and equip talented Catholics to fully realize their God-given gifts, thereby positively impacting their communities and society at large.

  During the homily, Fr. Austine Asuquo acknowledged the challenges faced by creatives, particularly the criticism and obstacles that often arise. 

  However, he encouraged them to persevere in their craft with a clear conscience, using their talents to serve God in the best way possible.Following the Mass, attendees introduced themselves, highlighting their areas of specialization. 

  FadaBen outlined the mission, goals, and plans for the group, which were met with enthusiasm and optimism. 

  The event ended with a session for bonding, interaction, networking, and learning, leaving participants inspired and eager to contribute to the collective vision.
