Perpetual vows and diaconate of Russom Qurban in Eritrea
Tuesday, August 25, 2015
The Comboni family of Eritrea has been blessed with the celebration of the perpetual vows and the ordination to the diaconate of scholastic Russom Qurban Oqbamariam [in the picture]. The perpetual vows was held in the chapel of the delegation house on 15 August, 2015, and the ordination to the diaconate took place at Kidane Mehret Parish (Sembel) the day after, 16 August, where Russom did his pastoral work for the last four years.
The ordination to the diaconate was presided by Archbishop Menghesteab Tesfamariam of the Archeparchy of Asmara. Both events were celebrated with great joy in the presence of almost all the Comboni confreres, the Comboni Sisters, Russom’s parents and relatives, many religious men and women, diocesan priests and lay people.
The celebration concluded with lunch at the Delegation house with the Comboni family, Russom’s parents and the invited guests. We wish deacon Russom a fruitful ministry in the community of Delle, which serves our two mission parishes in the Eparchy of Barentu.
