📍 McCauley Formation House, Nairobi, Kenya
The Congregation of Holy Cross, Province of East Africa, with hearts full of joy and thanksgiving, cordially invites you to witness and celebrate the Profession of Final Vows and Diaconate Ordinations of our beloved seminarians. This sacred celebration, scheduled to take place in May 2025 at McCauley Formation House, Nairobi, marks a significant spiritual milestone in the lives of these men who have generously responded to God’s call to religious life in the tradition of Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C.
Final Vows and Diaconate Candidates:
- Mr. Katongole Ronald, C.S.C.
- Mr. Sushil Soren, C.S.C.
- Mr. Amukasa Francis, C.S.C.
- Mr. Edson Mwoleka, C.S.C.
- Mr. Jerome Suting, C.S.C.
- Mr. Bwambale Deusi, C.S.C.
- Mr. Isingoma Joseph, C.S.C.
These men, through years of formation, discernment, and pastoral service, have prepared themselves to fully consecrate their lives to Christ and His Church through the charism and mission of Holy Cross. Their Final Profession of Vows—poverty, chastity, and obedience—signifies their total and lifelong commitment to God, the Congregation, and the people they are called to serve.
The Ordination to the Diaconate marks the next step in their journey toward priesthood, commissioning them as servants of the Word, the Altar, and the People of God.
Presiding Celebrant:
