Deacon Sebastine Okoye
St Mary Magdalene Parish
III Theology
St. Mary’s Seminary, Houston, TX
I am the fifth in a family of six children. I was born in Eastern Nigeria. As a cradle Catholic, my childhood memories are filled with images of our Blessed Mother Virgin Mary. I finished my undergraduate studies in Northern Nigeria, (Abuja) at the National Missionary Seminary of St. Paul in Philosophy/Humanities. In 2005, I moved to Canada for the Master of Divinity program at the University of Toronto where I continued my studies/discernment to the priesthood. After a while, I decided to pursue the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. I am very proud to be a seminarian for this archdiocese because I feel strongly that this is home for me.
