Missionary Oath and Diaconate in Nairobi – 16th and 17th May

John Cardinal NjuePeace and goodness to you.
This is just to express my gratitude once again for your prayers especially before and during my Diaconate preparations. The Missionary Oath and the Diaconate Ordination that took place on 16th and 17th of May respectively. It was marvellous. All went on well and a good number of confreres within the province came to support us. May God continue showering his blessing upon me and the society of the Missionary of Africa. We were five candidates of Missionaries of Africa including Lawrence Tukamushaba who made his stage in Mua, Malawi. So all together were seven. We were all ordained by his Excellence John Cardinal Njue, Bishop of Nairobi Archdiocese, Kenya.
Pass my regards to all and stay blessed.
John C. Mubanga, Nairobi-Kenya.
