Celebrating 15 Years of Priestly Ministry

A priest forever

With grateful hearts, we give thanks to God.

Very Rev. Fr. Maximilian Nwosu was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Aba, Nigeria, in 2011. Following his ordination, he served as Assistant Priest at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Aba, where he ministered to the spiritual needs of the faithful while also serving as Dean of Studies at Our Lady of Lourdes Model Secondary School.

In September 2012, Fr. Maximilian was appointed School Manager of St. Anthony’s Secondary School, Nbawsi. In this role, he combined pastoral ministry with educational leadership, helping to nurture both the academic and moral development of young people while continuing his commitment to the mission of the Church.

In August 2015, Fr. Maximilian came to Scotland as a missionary priest in the Diocese of Aberdeen. Since October 2015, he has faithfully served the parishes of Beauly, Cannich, Eskadale, Ullapool, and Fort Augustus, as well as the church communities of Poolewe and Lochinver. He currently serves as the Dean of St. Joseph’s (Highland) Deanery, continuing to dedicate his priestly ministry to proclaiming the Gospel and celebrating the sacraments. He accompanies the people of God with faith, compassion and joy.

Fifteen years of priestly ministry is a testimony of God’s grace, fidelity, sacrifice and loving service to His people. This anniversary page is created so that well-wishers can confirm attendance and leave prayers, memories, felicitations and congratulatory messages.
