When St Jude’s Parish was created in November 1971, the Young Christian Workers was the first action group Fr Joseph Holzkneht chose to be working with, though their activities were timidly carried out.

He was the first Parish Priest. He built the Fundong Parish church following a unique plan. The C.W.A. and the Y.C.W were formed in his time. The Y.C.W is the first action group he chose to work with which at the time had very active young men.

He enjoyed swimming in the pool called “Chimni” in Juafeff and that made people believe very strongly that he had mysterious powers. Fr John Bintum describes him as “a quiet, saintly priest.”

He left for Bafmeng Parish in 1982and was later sent to Brixen, Italy, where he took care of retired Mill Hill Missionaries. He passed away on 29 July 2011.

He established a sub Parish Exco in Ilung that has evolved to the present Parish. He improved the Liturgy with the Kom Choir in Ngwah Atondum that went national with Catechist Christopher Mih, the resident Catechist and improved the Liturgy with the experimental Kom Mass Rite by Fr John Musi and Catechist Nguo Linus

The solution of the longstanding famergrazer problem that took him to the High Court in Wum was resolved in favour of St Jude’s Parish through the honest witness of Nawain Juliana Nafoin who was the W C P D M P r e s i d e n t , a g a i n s t t h e administration. He always involved Fon Jinabo II to accompany Archbishop Paul Verdzekov on his pastoral visits to the Bum area and facilitated the work of evangelization in that Sub Parish. It is very interesting that the Fon Clement Ndzi was then the Fon’s Private Secretary at the time.

Fr Bintum ensured that the Billings Method of Natural Family Planning was introduced

in the Parish when tow parishioners, Mr Leo Nyongo and wife, Mrs Perpetua Nyongo were sent to Kenya to specialize in the programme. The parish was first in the Diocese in couple-participation.

He successfully carried out ecumenical Moral Instructions in all the schools in the parish in collaboration with Mr Waingeh Albert Ndim, who was the pioneer Principal of G.S.S. Fundong, who had the courage to put up such a programme in favour of the Catholic Church which led to the number of vocations to the priesthood from GSS/GHS Fundong at the time.

He introduced the celebration of the Parish feast day that brought together all the parishioners which always started with a Thanksgiving Masses during which the Fon was always present followed by choral music competitions, sporting activities and traditional dances by the Christians and school children.

He was keen in football and often played the game with the Christians and with the second division football club that was in Fundong at the time.

During his period, he organized the Catholic Youth Movement and youth groups were formed in many Mission Stations and the membership rose from 10 to 300 active members. The Cadets, Mass Servers, Vocation Groups converged monthly in a given Mission Station for a two day parochial Christian formation meeting, pray and discuss issues challenging them.

The present cemetery, which was occupied by Bobe Ngong, the mentally deranged man

who used to reside in the place, was blessed and he was the first to be buried there.

He initiated the fitting of the metallic door shutters of the parish house, after the attack by armed robbers one Saturday in 1993, with the financial assistance of his Dutch friends Mr and Mrs Ton Margaret Kerssens.

He brought the first computer to Fundong Parish with the Help of Dr Paul Nchoji Nkwi and he did not only use it for evangelization work but he also used it to teach others.

During his ministry the Mboh-Ilung disagreement was destabilizing that area and he went as far as he could in an effort to solve the problem.

He celebrated the 10th anniversary of his o r d i n a t i o n i n F u n d o n g a n d w a s overwhelmed with joy at the massive turnout of Christians and the festive atmosphere.

He introduced meetings with Catechists at Parish and Zonal levels with only one Nguti trained Catechist, late Pius Kitu.

He also introduced Armed Forces Day which was celebrated every January and delegations from Belo, Njinikom, Fundong and Bum Sub Divisions were always present. Sometimes there was a delegation of Security Forces from Bamenda led by Sr Hedwig.

There were nine Primary Schools at the time, namely CS Fundong, CS Boyui, CS Muteff, CS Ebosung, CS Aduk, CS Fundong Up, CS Fujua, CS Konene and CS Achain. He supported the building of the Catholic School at Ilung and the space for the church was bulldozed.

He introduced Sunday Massed at Boyui and Mbam alternately and in other Mission Stations following a programme and laid the foundation of the Mbam Church and extended the Sanctuary area of Boyui Church. He introduced Quarter Masses in Fundong Town.

The Bona Mors Prayer Group was formed during his ministry and the YCS became prominent. He encouraged the holding of Parish Council meetings in a rotatory manner in different Mission Stations.

During the visit of Archbishop Paul Verdzekov to the Parish for Confirmation, Fr Michael took him to Ilung

He ensured the celebration of the Thanksgiving Masses of Fathers Joseph Nchitu and Augustine Nkwain in Fundong and Ilung and later that of Fr Anthony Bangsi in Fundong and Konene. He celebrated his Silver Jubilee in the priesthood in Fundong.

It was during his ministry that the Infant Jesus Sisters of Nicolas Barré arrived Fundong and started the work of visiting the sick, teaching French in CS Fundong and Cs Boyui, handling Cadets and other Church groups and accompanying priests to Mission Stations.
