Father Ofezu ordained a priest after unexpected change of plans

First source report

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

The Diocese of Columbus ordained Kennedy Ofezu a priest on Saturday at St. Catharine of Siena Church in Columbus.

Ofezu, who is from Uganda, is the only member of his family of eight children to live outside his home country. He first identified his vocation as a child during a Friday Mass for school children. During that Mass, the pastor asked the students who wanted to become priests, and Ofezu raised his hand despite laughter from his peers.
