A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC VOYAGE A WITNESS’S PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF THE BEGINNINGS: 2004 – 2009

Abstract

In the early 2000s, after series of brain storming at the executive meetings of the Nigeria Conference of Women Religious (NCWR), it was decided that there was the need to have a publication that would benefit the growing religious body in Nigeria.  Prior to this decision, as a medium of communication, the Nigeria Conference of Women Religious was producing a newsletter through which important information was disseminated to her members.  During these years, immediately after the celebration of the Jubilee Year 2000, members of the Conference saw the need to graduate from the present medium of communication (newsletter) to another medium that would give room to far richer contents and that would get to a wider population.  This idea was unanimously accepted.  And so the thought of a journal was proposed.
