Dear Beloved Parishioners and Friends,
Grace and peace to you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
With a deeply grateful heart, I am writing to thank you for joining me in celebrating my 5th Priestly Ordination Anniversary. Your presence, prayers, warm wishes, generous gifts, and heartfelt support made the day not just memorable, but profoundly meaningful.
As I reflected on these five years of ministry, I was moved by the words of St. Paul in Philippians 1:3–5: “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” Truly, I am blessed to share this sacred journey with such a loving community.
Your generosity, both spiritual and material, has touched me deeply. Every card, every smile, every gesture, and every offering reminded me that priesthood is not a path walked alone, but one walked with the faithful people of God. Thank you for walking with me.
Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I strive daily to serve Christ and His Church with greater love, humility, and faithfulness. Be assured of my prayers for you and your families as well.
May God, who has begun this good work in us, bring it to completion in Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).
With heartfelt thanks and love in Christ,
Rev. Kevin Chinonye Okafor
