Father Abah Samuel Maria

Since 2020, Father has gained a large following because he has been faithful in celebrating the Mass regardless of mandates while being devoted to the Traditional Latin Mass. In Nigeria, many young men and women have nowhere to go to escape the modern Church and live out their vocation with the Traditional Sacraments. Finding solace in Father Abah Samuel Maria’s commitment to the True Faith, they begged him to lead their formation in the Traditional Catholic doctrine so he founded the Mission of the Sons and Sisters of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts (SSIH)

The Mission grew very quickly and currently Father has found himself and two other priests taking care of 15 mission chapels consisting of over 10,000 faithful. He is directing the congregation consisting of 15 sisters, and 23 seminarians with many more interested in joining.

They are dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, with the goal to save souls by the restoration of the Tridentine Mass (also known as the Mass of All Times) and holding fast to all the Dogmas and Sacred Traditions of the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Faith.

The SSIH is grateful to have received His Excellency Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano blessing and support for this Nigerian Mission.
