Ordinations

On Saturday 21st April we were delighted to share in the joy of Emmanuel Akwagiobe Ihwo, Anthony-Mario Uchenna Iheanyichukwu Egbunonu and Vitalis Francis Inyang who were ordained to the priesthood in Calabar Nigeria. And in Iten, Kenya, David Kipkosgei Chelimo was ordained also. Their classmate Emmanuel Sunkutu Chibesa was ordained in Lusaka, Zambia on St Patrick's Day. To all of them we say Ad multos annos! and we pray for every blessing upon them as they continue to work for the Lord.
 
 
Pictured above last August in Nairobi, when they were ordained as deacons are (left to right) Emmanuel Sunkutu, Vitalis Inyang, Emmanuel Ihwo, David Chelimo and Anthony Mario Egbunonu.

Happy 80th Birthday
On St Patrick's Day 1932 the first members St Patrick's Missionary Society took their oath of membership. So this year the Society is 80 years old. And as the Society is now blessed with young African members to continue the vision of the founders, it is 80 years young. On St Patrick's Day Rev Sunkutu Emmanuel Chibesa will be ordained a priest in Lusaka Zambia. As soon as we have pictures of his ordination we will bring them to you
