Update about scam attempts
10-16-2020Fr. Emmanuel IhemeduRecently, a scammer created a fake Facebook account in the name of Emmanuel Ihemedu, using Father Emmanuel's photos, and sent dozens of friend requests. Once the person accepted the request, the scammer asked the new “friends” for money.
Father Emmanuel never sends friend requests and does not request donations in this way. Do not accept a friend request from anyone pretending to be Father Emmanuel and do not ever send money or provide your personal information.
If you received and accepted a friend request, report it to Facebook, then unfriend and block this fake account.

The inappropriate distribution and use of hard-earned monies can leave a person quite angry and disconnected. It’s bad enough the government wants something from me, now God does, too?
