🎉 JOYFUL NEWS OF PRIESTLY ORDINATION 🎉

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last." (John 15:16)

With hearts overflowing with gratitude to God, the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate joyfully announce the priestly ordination of our dear brothers:

Rev. Fr. Luke Ugwuoke (Enugu State, Nigeria)
and
Rev. Fr. Alex Kuha (Benue State, Nigeria)

who were ordained to the Sacred Priesthood at the majestic Basilica of Saint Mary Major, Rome, on 13 June, the Feast of Feast of Saint Anthony of Padua.

This sacred event is a moment of immense joy not only for their families and local communities in Enugu and Benue States, but also for the entire family of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate and the Universal Church.

On this special feast of Saint Anthony of Padua, renowned for his holiness, humility, and love for the Gospel, God has raised these two sons of the Church to continue Christ's mission of proclaiming the Word, celebrating the Sacraments, and shepherding His people.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Immaculate Mother, guide and protect these newly ordained priests. May their ministry be fruitful, their hearts remain aflame with charity, and their lives become living witnesses to the joy of the Gospel.

Congratulations, Rev. Fr. Luke and Rev. Fr. Alex Kuha!
May your priesthood be holy, fruitful, and filled with the peace and joy of Christ.

Ad multos annos!
