From Deacons to Priests | Priestly Ordination 2026

On Saturday, 11 July 2026, the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, Onitsha, witnessed a profound celebration of faith and vocation as 11 men were ordained to the sacred priesthood in the Archdiocese of Onitsha. The solemn Ordination Mass was presided over by His Grace, Most Rev. Valerian Mmaduka Okeke, Archbishop of Onitsha, bringing together clergy, religious, families, friends, and the faithful to celebrate this significant moment in the life of the Church. From the solemn prostration and the Litany of the Saints, to the laying on of hands, the Prayer of Ordination, and the vesting of the newly ordained priests, every moment reflected the beauty, sacrifice, and grace of the priestly vocation. This full video takes you through the sacred celebration as these 11 men answered God's call and were ordained priests, beginning a new chapter of service to Christ and His Church. Congratulations to our 11 newly ordained priests. May Christ, the Eternal High Priest, grant them the grace to remain faithful to their calling, serve His people with love, and proclaim the Gospel with courage.
