Gratitude to Father Peter Ekanem
Our gratitude and prayers go out to Fr. Peter Ekanem for his ministry among our Light of Christ family of parishes. Bishop Fisher has assigned Fr. Peter to serve in Family #8 effective July 1, 2026.
As Parochial Vicar of our faith community he has shared with us the love of God and the service that draws us closer to the relationship we share in Jesus. In the work of Word, Sacrament and Service, Fr. Peter has assisted to form so many in their love of God and as faithful members of the Church.
I am grateful for his willingness to assist and collaborate with many of us in the responsibilities entrusted to him during his time among us.
Our prayers for Father Peter as the Holy Spirit continues to charge him with zeal and faith in service to the Church and those entrusted to his care.
