Please welcome our new deacon: Deacon Nonso Ohanaka.
He will reside with us this summer and plans on being a big help to Father Steiner while he is here with us. Keep him in your prayers, as he will be ordained to the priesthood next year!! Please make him feel at home and comfortable.
Hello, parishioners of Holy Rosary. My name is Deacon Nonso Ohanaka and I am incredibly happy to be with your community for the summer. I have been a seminarian for the diocese for the past six years and I grew up in Nashville. My family is from Nigeria and that is where I was born. I came to the U.S with my parents and siblings when I was five in 2001. We have lived in Nashville since. Most of my extended family is still in Nigeria. I am the oldest of five children: three boys and two girls. My full name is Chukwunonso, which means “God is near.” Being a priest is something that I have always been interested in since I was a little kid. I enjoy learning about how movies are made and I like to play sports. I look forward to getting to know you all.
In Christ, Deacon Nonso
