The latest “Living the Truth in Love” column by Bishop Barbarito is his homily from the May 3 ordination of Father Jude Ogochukwu Okeke:
Compassionate continuity
Today is a very joyful one for the Diocese of Palm Beach as we ordain our brother, Deacon Jude, to the Order of Priesthood. We are grateful to Jude for his discerning the call of the Lord and coming to us from his home in Nigeria to be a member of our presbyterate. We are very grateful to your family and welcome your mom as she is present with us this morning. My brother, Jude, your Nigerian identity blesses our Diocese, known for its rich cultural background, and enriches our presbyterate in a manner that shows the diversity of the Church.
