OUR THREE NEW DEACONS

From left to right: Revs. Gideon, Damien and John

 

Three SVDs were ordained deacons on 11 October 2008. Rev. Gideon Nana Apreku (Ghana), Rev. Bakoma Damien Dadjomgou (Togo), and Rev. John Kudjo Dorborkor (Ghana) courageously took up the task of the Ministry of Service with a vow of lifelong dedication and commitment. Held at Divine Word Parish, Nairobi, the event was graced by many confreres, religious sisters from different congregation, the parishioners of Kayole, guests and seminarians. In his homily, Nairobi’s auxiliary Bishop David Kamau highlighted the joy we should feel and share when serving the Lord.

For their mission appointments, Rev. Gideon is assigned to KenyaTanzania, Rev. Damien to Paraguay, and Rev. John Kudjo back to his home province Ghana.

The ordination ceremony was followed with lunch in the parish for all the attendees and wellwishers, and, later on, dinner at CFCLangata.
