During the Vincentian priestly ordination at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Maryland, Enugu, Most Rev. Isaac Dugu, the Catholic Bishop of Katsina Ala Diocese, delivered a compelling homily urging newly ordained priests to shine Christ’s light in Nigeria’s troubled areas.

Bishop Dugu stressed the urgent need for these priests to become beacons of hope amidst the nation’s challenges, including economic hardship, insecurity, and social injustice. He reminded them of their essential role in confronting these harsh realities with Christ’s love and courage.

In his message, Bishop Dugu encouraged the priests to remain steadfast in their ministry, advocating for the marginalized and serving as voices for the voiceless. He underscored the significance of prayer and the Eucharist in their daily lives, emphasizing that these practices are crucial for their spiritual nourishment and effectiveness in service.
