Rev Fr Ebuka Mbanude

CHAPLAIN

Day of Birth: -
Parochial Vicar - Holy Redeemer Church, Kensington, Maryland A DC Priest - Archdiocese of Washington DC “My journey to the priesthood began in my home where prayer was taught to all the children at a very young age. Every morning, at five o’clock A.M., our family gathered for prayer which involved reading of Scripture passages, a reflection, hymns and vocal prayer. As a child, I heard my parents pray and learned what they prayed for. This experience influenced my own prayer life and love of God’s Word. It is this love of Scriptures and the desire to teach it to others that would eventually strengthen my desire for the priesthood.
“Thoughts about the priesthood came to me for the first time after high school. I thought how wonderful it would be to preach and teach the Word of God, however, this stirring in my heart did not last long because I was preparing for university entrance to study microbiology. After two years of trying to enter the university, I decided to give seminary a chance. I wrote letters of my interest to religious congregations. Unfortunately, none of them accepted me. After this rejection, I suppressed the thought of priesthood and moved on with my life. …” more
