The arrival of our new Dean and the beginning of a new Chapter for AVMCC

On Thursday, 12th February 2026 at exactly 10:00am, the Cathedral witnessed a remarkable and historic moment as The Ven. and Mrs. Emmanuel Ariire Kolawole formally arrived to assume office. Their presence marks not just a change in leadership, but the dawn of a new chapter in the life and journey of AVMCC.
It was a moment filled with joy, expectation, and renewed hope as clergy, wardens, leaders, and members gathered to receive our new Dean and his beloved wife with warmth and excitement. We thank God for His faithfulness and we trust Him for greater works ahead under this new spiritual leadership.
As The Ven. Emmanuel Ariire Kolawole begins his ministry among us, we pray for divine wisdom, strength, grace, and vision to shepherd the flock entrusted to his care. We also pray for God’s continual blessings upon The Ven & Mrs. Kolawole in fulfilling their mandates and ministry in the Cathedral.
Indeed, this is the beginning of a new chapter — a season of deeper unity, spiritual revival, purposeful service, and impactful outreach for AVMCC.
Welcome to your new home our Dean and Mama Dean.
The journey continues… and the best is yet to come!
