Those ordained deacons are François Xavier SAWADOGO from Burkina Faso, Clément KOUROSSANGAMA from Burkina Faso, Alphonse Tanoh Descaves N’GUESSAN from Ivory Coast, Eric Agossou KINGPE from Benin Republic and Janeiro Moreira Mario Paulo from Angola.
We were ordained by Bishop Prosper Bonaventure KY, the Bishop of Dedougou in Burkina Faso. The ordination held at Saint John the Baptist Major Seminary, it’s the seminary of the Episcopal conference of Burkina Faso and Niger where we do all our studies.
