by cmf
On Saturday July 13, 2019, the East Nigeria Province had Priestly and Diaconate Ordinations. Nine priests among them were five Claretians and four members of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts Jesus and Mary. 3 Claretians were ordained as deacons. The high point of the ordination was the identical twin priests Peter and Paul Onele. The ordaining prelate Most Rev Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi the bishop of Sunyani Diocese in Ghana urged the priests and deacons ‘to accept the invitation of Jesus to say ‘Yes’ to the call of God. They should proclaim the Good News to the peripheries of the world, to cities and villages. In his words ‘wherever the Lord sends you, you should go.’ He called them to a life of prayer and to be priests after Christ’s heart. Over 100 priests and religious were present at the ordination.
