Priestly ordination in Nigeria

On Saturday, 31 January 2026, we had the priestly ordination of our confrere Michael Okpala, in Ibadan, Nigeria. It was a deeply solemn and inspiring celebration. He was ordained by Most Rev. Peter Kayode Odetoyinbo, bishop of Abeokuta diocese. It was a graceful moment for the entire Schoenstatt Fathers community, his family, friends and for the worshipping community.

We are grateful to God and the Blessed Mother for this gift as we also pray for Fr Michael and his ministry.
