Dio Palm BeachNew priest called by Jesus to one mission
PALM BEACH GARDENS | Since arriving in the United States and entering the seminary for the Diocese of Palm Beach in 2021, Father Jude Ogochukwu Okeke has made a lot of friends, and many of them were in attendance May 3 as he was ordained a priest for the diocese at the Cathedral of St. Ignatius Loyola.
In welcoming the faithful to the celebration, Bishop Gerald M. Barbarito thanked all who are instrumental in teaching the faith and preparing men for the priesthood at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary, including Father Alfredo Hernández, rector and president. Particularly, the bishop singled out Father Okeke’s mother, Monica, who came from Nigeria to witness her son’s priestly ordination. Other family members were unable to obtain visas and had to watch the livestreamed liturgy.
