During his nearly 15 years in southern California, Father Moses Chikwe was always up to something, even when he wasn t taking graduate courses at Loyola Marymount University and UCLA.
The Nigerian priest helped in parishes, visited the sick in local hospitals, served as a prayer group chaplain, and joined soccer matches after Sunday Masses were done. He even handed out rosaries to strangers on the Venice Beach boardwalk.
