Bishop LaValley Ordains Two Priests and Three Deacons

 

On Saturday, August 1, Bishop LaValley ordained five men to Holy Orders. The diocese has two new priests, Reverend Jude Nnadibuagha and Reverend Severinus Torwoe. Father Jude will continue serving the Catholic Community of St. Peter, St. Hedwig and St. Mary in Lowville. Father Severinus recently began serving at St. Peter’s Parish in Massena. Our two new transitional deacons, Reverend Mister Matthew Conger and Reverend Mister John Kennedy Ojouk, will return to Christ the King Seminary to complete their studies toward priesthood. Deacon Donald Wilder is a permanent deacon, serving as Chaplain at the Watertown Correctional Facility and the Cape Vincent Correctional Facility.  He also serves St. Patrick’s, St. Anthony’s and Holy Family parishes in Watertown. Please join us in joyful prayers for these generous men.

 

You can watch the Ordination Mass below as well as their Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity from July 30.
