25 YEARS IN THE LORD’S VINEYARD!!!

Today was for our dear son, brother and priest of the Most High God, Very Rev Fr Donatus Ukpong, PhD, who celebrated his Silver Jubilee as a Catholic Priest.

He was ordained into the Priesthood of Jesus Christ, the eternal High Priest on September 12, 1998, alongside his ordination mate, Very Rev Fr Anthony Abel, PhD by the Pioneer Bishop of Uyo Diocese, now the Archbishop of Ecclesiastical Province of Calabar, His Grace, Archbishop Joseph Ekuwem.

Father Ukpong is currently an Associate Professor of Systematic Theology and Pentecostal Studies, University of Uyo and founder of Mobile Manna Foundation (MMF), a foundation caring for the mentally deranged and physically challenged persons in our society.

To the glory of God and benefits of mankind, the event was a huge success and was graced by two Catholic Bishops, over 30 priests, religious men and women, Royal fathers from Oro Nation, political office holders, members of the academia among others.

TU es Sacerdos in aeternum.

Ad Majorem, Dei Gloriam!
