I was very happy when I learned the language and was able to communicate with the rest of my classmates.

Name: Kenneth Orom
Age: 25 years
Situation: Seminarian
Origin: Jinja, Uganda
Study: Studying Theology at the Bidasoa International Seminary in Pamplona.

Since I was a child I have had a love for the Holy Mass and priests.

Kenneth Orom is a seminarian in the diocese of Jinja in Uganda. He is the last of five siblings: two brothers and three sisters. 

Empecé my minor seminary with fourteen years where we realizee mis a high school graduate.

Then I went to the philosophy major seminary for three years.

Then I left for a year of pastoral work.

Since I was a child I have felt a love for the Holy Mass and priests that I consider one of the greatest reasons why I wish to become a priest, God willing.

Enteré in the weekly Bidasoa in 2018 arriving at the airport in Madrid where there were five seminarians that I did not know, but waiting for me and they hugged me explaining me about life in Bidasoa, although I did not understand anything. 

I arrived in Pamplona and in the house there were more seminarians who helped me, explaining to me what to do according to the seminary schedule, although I did not understand anything.

Thank God I learned the language and I was very happy to be with the others, understanding each other. 

Since I entered the seminary, my formation process has marked my way of thinking and seeing life. I have opened my eyes to the faith, love and mercy that a priest and a Catholic should have by nature. This has been a total adventure and a blessing, to live and be formed in Bidasoa, a place that presents me with high standards for a priest which only with love for Jesus the Eucharist, honor to the Blessed Virgin and loyalty to the Church, in an international community."

"I am grateful for the support received, without your collaboration it would not be possible to continue my formation on this path to holiness through the priesthood. 

I encourage you to continue with the commendable work you do with so many servants of the Lord who do not have the financial resources, but have an immense desire to be trained to serve others and to be able to offer them quality training.

Hoping that God will bless you, I commend myself to your prayers, while keeping you in mine."
