History was made on the 25th day of August 2018 at the Cathedral of St. Paul Issele-Uku as the Catholic Bishop of Issele-Uku, Most Rev. Dr. Michael Odogwu Elue raised nine deacons to the order of the presbyteriate. The newly ordained priests are:
1. Rev. Fr. Dennis Adigwe
2. Rev. Fr. Anthony Brown
3. Rev. Fr. Victor Ijeh
4. Rev. Fr. Felix Kawekwuna
5. Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Ogoh
6. Rev. Fr. Francis Okpala
7. Rev. Fr. Dennis Onochie
8. Rev. Fr. Michael Osamor
9. Rev. Fr. Gabriel Osiegbu.
With the ordination of these new priests, the number of incardinated priests of the Diocese of Issele-Uku rose to 234. We pray that God may continue to bless and strengthen all the priests for greater service in his vineyard. Amen.
