Father Deo’s words on the Anniversary:

Peace be with you! I was ordained a priest sixteen years ago on August 1st, 2009.

As I reflect on my priestly call and service to the Church, my heart is filled with profound gratitude.

Each day, I am humbled by the magnitude of God’s gift, and I’m constantly inspired and strengthened by your faith, generosity, and prayers.

Priesthood is not a solitary path; it is a shared calling, nurtured and sustained by the community it serves.

I thank God daily for allowing me to serve you, and to walk with you as we grow together in faith and love.
