Dear friends, on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023, a Solemn event unfolded at the Capuchin Franciscan Friary in Enugu. Friar Kingsley Nnanna Onah, OFMCap, a member of Our Catholic Community Forum (OCCF), made his Perpetual Profession of Religious Vows, solemnly committing himself to live by the Evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience in a lifelong dedication to Christ and to the charism of his Religious Order.
Friar Kingsley is no stranger to our Community. His thoughtful and evocative write-ups and reflections. He's also one of our smart minds at OCCF quizzes, and have won many gifts.
It is pertinent to note that the Perpetual Profession is a milestone in the life of a Consecrated Religious, and Friar Kingsley's decision to take this definitive step is remarkable.
We are called to extend our heartfelt felicitations to Friar Kingsley. His journey is an inspiration to us all. We also unite in prayer, asking for God's grace of final perseverance to accompany him on this spiritual path.
Below are some of the photos that marked this remarkable event. Kindly leave your comments and prayers in the comment section to encourage our brother.
