The Diocese of Buea has announced the ordination of eleven deacons into the priesthood, scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. The ordination Mass will be celebrated at the Divine Mercy Co-Cathedral in Molyko, Buea.
Bishop Michael Miabesue Bibi confirmed the names of the deacons accepted for priestly ordination in an official letter dated March 10, 2025. They are:
- Rev. Eric Afongang
- Rev. Deodone Ambe
- Rev. Raymond Vershiyi

- Rev. Fidelis Anyanwu
- Rev. Jevis Ebua
- Rev. Kyrian Nnadi

- Br. Esope Mosseu Thaddeus (OFM.Cap)
The selection of these candidates followed the publication of their banns on December 29, 2024, January 5, 2025, and January 12, 2025. The banns allowed for public scrutiny and feedback before their final approval for ordination. Churches in the diocese read them to christians.
As part of preparations, the Diocese has called for a second collection in all parishes on Palm Sunday, April 13, 2025. This will support the organisation of the event. The faithful are urged to keep the candidates in prayer as they prepare for their lifelong commitment to serving the Church.
