He's from Uganda, and was sad because he couldn't afford to bring his parents over for his Ordination. One of the families in our Parish got several folks together, and raised the money so that they could be here for it. They are very nice people, but it was kind of overwhelming for them because his Dad has very limited English skills, and his mother doesn't speak or understand the language. Thankfully, his sister speaks English well, so she could convey all our good wishes.
What a wonderful gift your parish gave to those parents. Bravo!
