I was ordained a Deacon on August 15, 2019 inside the Cathedral in Tabora. I was ordained to the Priesthood on June 29th 2020 by Cardinal Cupich in Chicago. My first Mass was at Old St. Marys in the Loop. My Mass of Thanksgiving back in Tanzania was on the front steps of Cathedral, a year to the day after my diaconal Ordination.
Ordination - Flanked by Fr. Mark Francis, the President of Catholic Theological Union, where I studied theology, and by Fr. Dan Horan, my academic advisor and a noted Franciscan theologian.
