    • Kpenhangen B. ★★★★ As a chaplaincy, The church endeavors to provide and exhibit qualitative behavior and seriousness. Being there was a great experience indeed as many Catholic doctrines and procedures as well as culture is well practiced. However the spiritual motivation and dedication is comparatively seldom, of which I recommend and encourage there should be more effort inaugurated in that aspect to foster the best out of the little ones that dominate the congregation. More impaction and inculcation on the Catholic doctrines will be beneficial and cannot be underestimated.
