By Polycarp Ifeanyi

The Faithspiration Initiative is set to host its annual Ave Maria Praise 2026, a spirit-filled event organised to honour the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and celebrate her birthday.

The event is scheduled to take place on Monday, September 7, 2026, at SS John and Paul Parish, Iba Pope, Awada, Idemili North Local Government Area, Anambra State.

Faithspiration Initiative is a non-governmental organisation comprising youths, adults, clergy and seminarians dedicated to promoting the Gospel of God and winning souls for Christ.

The initiative was founded by a Catholic priest of the Onitsha Archdiocese and the Onitsha Archdiocesan Director of Communications, Very Rev. Fr. Dr. George Adimike.

Beyond evangelism, Faithspiration Initiative is also involved in charity outreaches, empowerment programmes, evangelism entertainment and faith-boosting activities for people who have backslidden.

According to the organisers, this year’s edition promises to be power-packed and soul-enriching, building on the success of the 2025 Ave Maria Praise, which recorded numerous testimonies and life-transforming encounters.

“Just like last year’s Ave Maria Praise, where many were inspired and testimonies abounded after the event, this year’s edition will be bigger and more impactful,” a statement from the initiative said.

The 2026 edition will feature notable gospel music ministers, renowned comedians and other side attractions aimed at entertaining guests while drawing them closer to God.

Faithspiration Initiative has called on Christians, families and lovers of gospel music across Anambra State and beyond to attend and be part of the celebration.
