A Bridge of Love and Hope
Catholics in several parishes of the Diocese of Rockford come together to Build a Bridge of Love to Africa with an organization called ImaBridge Africa. Begun in 2008 by Father Godwin Asuquo, now pastor of St. Patrick Parish in McHenry, the organization works through a U.S. board of directors and a Nigeria-based board of directors to provide assistance with health, education, clean water and micro-financing to benefit the poor.
