Congratulations Fr. Donald!

It was a beautiful bright day, a day the Lord made, and we were glad and rejoiced in it.  This day was October 21, 2012, when Fr. Donald Eruaga, MSP, was installed as Pastor of St. Kilian Catholic Parish.  All the faithful at this Parish were joyous and accorded him a warm reception after the celebration of the installation Mass.  Congratulatory messages from the parishioners rained down on him like rain-drops on the meadow. 

 The St. Ethelreda family was not left behind at this memorable occasion.  In their warm and friendly way, on Wednesday, October 24, St. Ethelreda faculty, staff and students congratulated Fr. Donald for this great mile stone in his priestly ministry in the United States.  Each class presented him with a congratulatory card expressing their sincere appreciation for all the good work he has been doing, especially for celebrating the Mass every Wednesday for us.  Fr. Donald shares his words of encouragement and wisdom that uplift our spirits every Wednesday. We are most grateful for him praying with and for us. 

Fr. Donald is a Catholic priest of the Missionary of St. Paul.   True to his priestly call and missionary spirit, he has worked not only in Nigeria, his home country, but also in Liberia, and is now here in the United States.

Once again, Congratulations and thank you!
